Fifteen Things Friday {Special Colorado Edition}

#1. Colorado or Bust! A 12 hour car ride to Breckenridge. We departed at 11:00am on Wednesday, August 4th! 


#2. We arrived very late Wednesday evening and when we woke up Thursday, this was the site in our backyard! Gorgeous... 


#3. We shopped...



#4. We rode the lifts to the top of the Alpine Slides! Definitely a highlight of the trip for all of us! 


#5. We ate... Empire Burgers, Downtown at Eric's, Breckenridge Brewery, Butterhorn Bakery...


#6. We enjoyed spectacular views...


#7. And time together... 


#8. Noelle loved to sit on rocks and pose for photos... I heard this often... "Mommy, how about I sit on that rock and you can take my picture!" Do you know how many boulders there are in Breckenridge? :)




#9. We biked... 


#10. We hiked...


#11. Favorite quote from the trip... "Just deal with it!" 

As we were hiking, the kids were leading and we had to make them turn around because we decided to go a different way than the way they were leading and we hear Noelle say "Just deal with it!" to the other kids... lol! 


#12. We played...

#13. There were wildflowers a-plenty... at every turn, everywhere...  




#14. We saw a black bear, oh yes, we did... in the middle of the road right out in front of the house... 


#15. And of course... you can't be in the wilderness without a night of roasting marshmallows and eating S'mores!!!
