Colorado Vacation Part 3

We went to the mountains over the Labor Day weekend, Breckenridge to be exact. It was so gorgeous and we had so much fun. My family was gracious enough to arrange rooms at their time share so we certainly lodged in style. We loved venturing into town to look through the shops and street vendors. We took the gondola ride up to the ski area and ate lunch at the restaurant at the top. (I of course had a mini freak out when they slowed it on the way back down.. I hate heights). But Maddy and Marc loved it and thought it was so neat being that high above everything. What was really fun was when we would hit a stopping point for different levels and we would switch gondolas with each  other... especially when Brad missed the jump out point and Becky left him all alone in his gondola.. he was bummed ( but it was pretty funny).

  The kids had a nice time dipping their feet in the freezing cold stream and skipping rocks. Aunt Becky even got in for a few minutes. It was so refreshing just sitting by the stream watching all the people in the little town go about their activities, and letting there dogs run through the stream to get a drink.

We spent alot of time just hanging out with everyone, playing card games (golf) and acting goofy (singing camp songs in the car at the top of our lungs). Even getting Uncle Brad to do his CRAZY laugh and my grandpa to make a few really funny jokes! Marc even had an encounter with a bear!! up in the mountains. Not to mention the ridiculous deals we found at their thrift store which lead to us bringing home 2 boxes full of goodies. It is a completely different way of life in Colorado and it really made us wanna be there more.. like.. live there?!?! Sooner or later... sooner rather than later?! Who knows where God will lead us. All we know for sure is that we didn't wanna leave and could totally see ourselves living there.. guess we have some praying to do.

On our way outta town Uncle Brad (who is a pilot for Frontier) had a flight scheduled an hour before us so he took us to the airport and let us come see the cockpit to the plane he was flying that day. Um, it was AWESOME! Marc and Maddy sat in the chairs and steered and all that stuff, even pillow pet got in on the action. It was so sweet of him, I could tell he loved every minute of her exploring it. He's super cool like that. 

Now it's time to unpack (ugh!) and get back to the things we have going on here. Maddy has dance class and homeschool starts on Monday. Marc is still on vacation until Wed so we will be enjoying more family time!!
