Sensationally Six

We continued to enjoy our time in Colorado. The day that everyone did Epic Discovery was a highlight. We were all impressed with the bravery Bee showed as she gutted out the ropes course even though we know she was scared to death. She also did the trampoline, rode the Super Chair Lift with LaLa all the way up the mountain, rode the mountain coaster, lots! She also rode the Alpine slide, jumped in the bounce house, played mini golf and panned for gold (or maybe just cool rocks). What a day.



We continued to enjoy daily gelato as well as ride the gondola, which allowed us to spot a momma moose and her baby, also deer. We rode the gondola just to spot the moose. And on our way down the mountain in ROADA the baby moose and momma walked right out in front of us on the rodeway. We were so excited. 

I know it isn't the best quality pic but our eyes saw them and our memory will last a long time. It was very neat to see for sure!

The big horn sheep herd was WOW!

After the kids headed home MiRV and I stayed on a few days and made it over to Gunnison and Crested Butte. We were able to see a marmot, elk, big horn sheep, hummingbirds right in our campsite, woodpeckers, bluebirds and lots of ground squirrels. We have enjoyed some lovely weather and nice camp spots.

Sensationally Six

We are over a week in to a ROADA trip but have taken a luxury week to meet up with the parents of our Bee. She left with us for a few days of roughing it in ROADA and checked off another state. Colorado was new for her and her daddy. What fun we've had with her and she is loving the "mountain house". She has also enjoyed riding the gondola, seeing moose, horseback riding, hiking and gelato.





She's tired, we are tired but we are having a great time in the mountains. One more full day and the adventure is still ongoing.  We've had mild temps, some rainy afternoons but that hasn't stopped us. MiRV and I will continue on doing some exploring as they head home this weekend. Nice to be escaping the excessive heat warnings in MO right now! We are enjoying 70's in the day and mid 50's at night. I may not go home til September!
