Google Photos likes to create animations of our action shots. Here are some of our favorites:

Breckenridge

On the last day of our trip, we took a little hike up to the Sawmill Creek Reservoir in Breckenridge. There was still plenty of snow on the ground, which made things slippery. There were tadpoles swimming around, at least until George and Henry started throwing things into the water. They sure have a talent for scaring off wildlife!

Rifle Creek State Park

In their continued efforts to tire us out, Mommy and Daddy took us on a hike to Rifle Creek Falls, which not only features a triple waterfall but also really cool caves!

Maroon Bells

After Aspen, we took a short detour to see the much-vaunted Maroon Bells. Richard appreciated the scenery, but his brothers were more intent on throwing things into the lake.

Leadville hike

Hiking at over 10,000 ft. is supposed to be a challenge, but apparently not for these boys! We took a nature hike to Evergreen Lakes after a fun visit to the Leadville Fish Hatchery.

Aspen Mountain

We took a long (and expensive!) gondola ride up Aspen mountain. The boys claimed a car to themselves, giving Mommy and Daddy a blissful half-hour of boy-free time to enjoy the view. There were plenty of skiiers and snowboarders, and we encountered snow on our drive from Leadville. That's summer in Colorado for you!

Rainbow pudgets

Our trip to the mountains involved rain, snow, and sunshine. We finally made our destination and enjoyed this rainbow during dinner. Tomorrow we hit Leadville and Aspen if all goes according to plan.
