More of the Beautiful state of Colorado...

Leaving you off from the last post... we did wonder around town on Sunday BUT we also went hiking straight up the mountain.
Let me show you what I mean:

This is Molly's hike with both legs... You'll understand later.
This is the sight of the town from the mountain tree branch I was holding onto with my freezing cold hands. From this point, Molly and I decided we didn't want to die and so the thought process of "HOW DO WE GET DOWN??" when through our minds. So we then decided to slide down the mountain. Like this:


This was our trail...




















And like this.
We had such a good time. We laughed so hard that we started to cry. Then we went back and had lunch and went shopping for milk in town.



It was an amazing first day. I almost forgot about our memorable marry-go-round ride!

Michelle and Curtis:




We had such an incredible day! This picture is for my family:


So instead of buying a Blue Spruce... We can just RENT ONE! :) They are lighter.

Colorado Trip:

We= Molly, Amanda, Bonnie, Michelle, Lee, Curtis, Seth, Chase, Dusty, and ME traveled the 18 hours from Tyler, Tx to Lake City Colorado. Leaving Friday morning at 3 a.m., we arrived at our destination at the hour of 8 p.m. in mountain time. Arriving at our humble cabin that sleeps as many as we can cram into all inches of the house... 12 we got so far!





This is our awesome lights in the living room!










This is the group eating tacos! We eat as a family!














And this is the snow we got the first day... HOW BEAutiful!


After we settled in Saturday night, Sunday we went into town and went sight seeing:














We followed the arrow... and then noticed that the fire danger was low thanks to this sign:














We saw these historic buildings that are so pretty:
Lee decided to read every single one of the historic signs that tells the history of the building.

















This one is for sale!! :)
