| Kason all excited to begin our Colorado adventure |
 |
| The girls getting their first good look at the mountains |
 |
| Kaelen making snowballs in Rocky Mountain National Park |
 |
 |
| We were lucky to see some large elk |
 |
| This is the house we rented in Silverthorne, it had plenty of space for us |
 |
| The view off the deck |
 |
| We took the Breckenridge gondola up to the top of their skiing area |
 |
| At the top the kids enjoyed some activities including pony rides |
Here's a video of the pony rides.
 |
| And they had an alpine slide that the kids really enjoyed. |
 |
| We went rafting down the Colorado River |
 |
| The kids had a great time. It was mostly smooth with a few rapids. |
 |
| The scenery was beautiful |
 |
| Kamryn really enjoyed paddling the raft |
 |
| After rafting we walked through Vail, it was very nice. |
 |
| Pretty Kamryn posing by a stream |
 |
| We found a Pirate Ship Park that everyone enjoyed. |
 |
| A large fox was living right next to our condo. We only saw this one once but we saw several other foxes. |
 |
| We visited the Children's Museum in Denver, Kason and Kamryn both loved the retired fire truck. |
 |
| Kamryn climbing UP the fire pole. I think she is ready to do CrossFit with me! |
 |
| They had a nice area for kids to try out real tools |
 |
| Kamryn loved the bubble room |
 |
| Making giant bubbles |
 |
| Both girls painted a picture |
 |
| Kaelen liked the dress-up/dance area |
 |
| We went to the Denver Aquarium and the kids liked the mermaids! |
 | |||
| Kamryn is still talking about the mermaid that kissed her |
 |
| The girls even got a picture with the mermaids |
 |
| And so did Nancy and I!! |
 |
| Everyone showing off their tattoos |
 |
| Kamryn posing with Dudley and Nancy during our big hike |
 |
| Kaelen of course needed a huge walking stick |
 |
| Kason was a trooper on the 45 minute hike up the mountain |
 |
| We walked across a nice wooden bridge |
 |
| We went on the Georgetown Railway, everyone loved the experience |
 |
| There was some beautiful scenery along the way |
 |
| Kason of course loves everything about trains |
 |
 |
| We also stopped at Elitch Gardens in Denver one late afternoon |
 |
| Everyone had a nice time riding the low-key rides in the kids' area |
 | |
| I think the bumper cars were a favorite. |
Here's a video of them riding the Bumper Cars
 |
| All of them really liked the small roller coaster |
 |
| We also went on the Cog Railway up Pike's Peak |
 | ||
| Kason was happy with another train ride |
 |
| We saw the smoke from the large Waldo Canyon Fire burning near Colorado Springs |
 |
| It was a chilly 46 degrees on top of Pike's Peak! |
 |
| A rare family picture! |
 |
| Kason and Papa enjoying the ride down the mountain |
 |
| We saw a few sheep also on the way down |
 |
| Here I am right before starting the Leadville Heavy Half Marathon. |
 |
| This was the trail! Very rocky! |
 |
| There was some beautiful scenery along the way |
 |
| The incline was incredible up to the peak! |
 |
| Kind of treacherous! |
 |
| Here I am at the top! |
 |
| Mosquito Pass 13,185 ft |
 |
| Breathtaking! |
 |
| Almost finished! |
 |
| Crossing the finish line at 3:33! |
Here's a video of my finish.
 |
| Very happy with my time |
 |
| Definitely earned that medal! |
