Colorado Trip

We took the boys to Colorado again! This time it was just the four of us on our own little family vacation. We of course stayed at my mom and dad's cabin and just had a wonderful time. We spent most of our time in Buena Vista, CO, which is about 30 minutes from the cabin. We went on a treasure hunt (thanks Papa!), hiked, drove up Cottonwood Pass, visited a state fish hatchery to feed fish, fed chipmunks at St. Elmo, threw rocks in the Arkansas River, explored and built a new fort at the cabin, watched the wildlife, and just relaxed. We had beautiful weather!!! What views we saw! We can't wait to go back again! I took 130 pictures, but I'll just post a few of the best here!
