Colorado Trip - Days 1 and 2

We decided to head away from the heat of KC and spend 5 days in Breckenridge, Colorado this summer!  Luckily Grandma and Grandpa's house is just about halfway between KC and Breckenridge, so we left on a Saturday morning, stayed there Saturday and Sunday night and then drove the rest of the way to Breck on Monday morning.

We were packed to the brims - plus we had a car topper with more stuff in it!

Grandma and Grandpa took us to a festival in a nearby town on Saturday night.  We had BBQ for dinner and they had a little train for the kids to ride and a small parade.

Now this is Drew's kind of parade!!!
After that they had turtle races!!  I did not even know that was a thing.  Apparently you have to catch yourself a turtle beforehand, then they put numbers on all the turtles and put them in the middle and the first one that reaches the outside of the circle is the winner!

It was so funny.  Grandpa tried to find a turtle for the boys but couldn't find one.  Luckily another lady whose kids had raced their turtle in the first age group overheard us talking and she let the boys race their turtle.  You can kind of see it in Jack's hand.  Poor guy didn't win.  :(  After the turtle races, they had fireworks!  It was a fun night!
Sunday we spent hanging out at the farm.  The boys rode the 4 wheeler a ton and Drew had a blast mowing the grass with the big mower.
