Colorado is beautiful! We have had a blast and totally enjoyed the change of scenery. We have spent the past week in Granby, Colorado (near Winter Park). The picture below is the view from the pool at our condo.
One day we rode the chairlift to the top of the mountain . . . quite an experience . . . (who knew that Brad was so afraid of heights). At the top, we walked the trails and took a few pictures.
One day we drove to Breckenridge and rented a jeep for the day. It was definitely an adventure! There were moments of terror as we hopped and slipped through narrow passages, wondering if we were still on the trail or not. Then there was the moment panic when (after slamming the bottom of our jeep on a huge boulder) Brad calmly told me that we were out of gas . . . OUT OF GAS . . . in the middle of nowhere, on the steepest hill in Colorado, with no one in sight . . . We turned off the jeep, got out to "discuss" the issue, and I began to PANIC!! We decided to get back in and try to keep going (since there really weren't many other options). When Brad turned the jeep back on, the gage started working again and showed that we still had plenty of gas. At that point, I was ready to find an "easy" trail . . . forget this "moderate" stuff!! We eventually found our way out of that trail and enjoyed a few hours of easy 4-wheeling. While we were clinging for dear life, we didn't stop to take any pictures, but here is one of the girls later enjoying the ride.
Yesterday (our last day) we went 4-wheeling. It was overwhelmingly our favorite day of the trip. We all had a blast riding. Our timing probably wasn't the best, though, because we were on the trial during prime nap time. At one point Brad actually had to pull over to figure out why Lily kept rocking back and forth. She told him that she was tired and he knew that all of the head bobbing was because she had fallen asleep. But when she was awake, she insisted that we "go faster".
At one point, Brad actually let Gracie take the wheel. It was a little frightening when they sped past me and he held his hands up to show me that she was in control. She loved it!
We had a great time, but are anxious to be home. The girls can't wait to see Mimi and PawPaw and pet Sadie, and Brad and I are ready to sleep in our own bed. Colorado is great, but there is nothing like home sweet home!

With a view like that I don't know I would have ever come back home. Sounds like a great adventure.
Mimi and Pawpaw can't wait to see them either - seems like you've been gone a month!
