Colorado Trip - Day 4

We decided to head up to the top of Peak 8 for the Fun Park on Tuesday morning.  These boys loved their first gondola ride!!!


There was so much to do at the fun park - we planned on staying a few hours and ended up pretty much being there all day.  Luke headed straight for the bounce house - he was calling that little girl "my pink friend"!
Little man was EXACTLY 30 pounds when they put him on the scale, which was the minimum weight to jump on the trampolines.  He thought he was pretty big stuff!



Our next stop was riding the ski lift up to the alpine slide!  I remember riding this when I was a kid and the boys loved it - they couldn't get enough!  We had to go back and buy an unlimited ticket for Luke too because he loved it so much after his 1 ride.

So fun!!!


Big hunks of snow still on the mountain!


Gorgeous!
There was an enormous pile of snow for the kids to climb on - Drew climbed to to the top and Luke was so excited to throw snowballs but ended up crying because his hands were cold.
Our view from the snow pile!
Drew made it to the top!
Throwing snowballs!


Next we hit up the mining area and came home with bags of really cool rocks!
The boys did this tubing run approximately 3,256 times.



Snow capped mountains!
Drew on the ropes course!

This kid loved the tubing.
Back to the alpine slide!
Mini golf time...



And even a maze!
Back to the slides....are you sensing a favorite here??

After all that fun we rode the scenic chairlift up to a higher part of the mountain.  We rode right by the Ski Watch condos (in the background of this pic) where my family stayed when we came to Breckenridge to ski!  We would ski down these runs and ski right into our condo!



We got off the chairlift at the top and took some pictures of the scenery.



There weren't many people around but we finally found someone to take a picture of all of us.  The first picture he snapped captured Jack almost falling down the hill.  :)


I took about a million mountain pictures.



                 
Finally back on the gondola heading back down the mountain for a very late lunch!


Later that afternoon we decided to explore around our townhouse a little bit.  We found a little creek - thank goodness I had thrown the rainboots in the car at the last minute. Only problem was Drew doesn't have any that fit, so he had to wear my pink ones if he wanted to get in the water!

Checking out some trails we found...


Another shallow area of the creek.  We met another family from Kansas City here.
Luke didn't nap of course so he was in bed early and we pulled out some of the games at our townhouse to play.
Then this happened - this guy lost his other front tooth!!  Good thing mom had also thrown in the tooth fairy box at the last minute!  He was so excited and you bet the tooth fairy found him in his top bunk in Breckenridge.  ;)
