It was very hard to see where we were going yet people were just flying by us.
OK, does this not look like a postcard? This is a picture of the town taken from the window in our hotel room our first night. Isn't it gorgeous?!!! 
Here's an idea of how much snow was still on the ground in April. They said they have had over 300 inches of snow this winter! Can you imagine?? 
It snowed a little every day that we were there.
Just taking a walk through town doing a little shopping. 
We didn't ski while we were there, but we did take a ride on the gondola which allowed us to see a better view of the mountains. 
Look how much snow is piled up on this little building!! :)
Here's pictures of Kevin and I overlooking the town.
On our last night there we took a dinner sleigh ride. These were our horses....Ted and Spike!
We enjoyed the sleigh ride, but it was soooooo cold!
This is where we ate dinner.....it's called a Yurk. Never heard of one, well me either!
We had a fabulous time on our trip to Colorado! It was eventful from beginning to end and still going! Wednesday night (at 6:30, still not packed at this point) before we left I took Ryan to Patient First because he was acting strangely and he said his ear hurt, come to find out he had strep throat. Got some meds, came home and put him to bed. I have to say that it was the quickest visit to PF that I have ever had.....we were in and out of there in 45 minutes, that must be some sort of record!! Kevin's parents were watching the kids Thursday and Friday so his dad took us to the airport at 800 so we could get on our 930 flight. Sadly due to fog (first time all year we have had fog right!!) we didn't fly out until 1215. We missed our connection and had to rebook and finally made it to Denver around 500....at this point I was already over the day, but we still had a 2 hour drive to Breckenridge. Got some food, hopped in the car and drove.....straight into a little snowstorm. People were just whizzing by us as we were going about 25 miles/hour, you could barely see. We finally made it to our hotel around 700 at which point I was ready to go to bed considering it was really 900 at home (also had been up with Ryan some the night before and a sore throat myself). Went to bed a little late and at about 1000 our heater started shooting sparks and smelling like smoke. Well then we had to call downstairs to have someone come check it out, so there I am in my pajamas half asleep while some maintenance guy checks our heater. Turned out to be nothing big and thankfully we didn't have to change rooms.
Friday we woke up to snow and just spent the day walking around town checking out all these neat shops and eating at fun little restaurants. We also got to take a nap with no interruptions....it was fabulous!! Saturday I went to the doctor first thing, but thankfully no strep throat, just sinus stuff. We spent the day shopping at some outlets that we passed on the way in, it was so much fun (for me anyway, I am not sure how much fun Kevin had!) That night we took a sleigh ride up the mountain (with snow falling) to the Yurk and had dinner with about 20 people we didn't know! It was a lot of fun talking to people from all over the place.....including Scotland!! That night at 900 they set off fireworks while it was snowing, it was cold but oh so much fun!!
Sunday morning we packed up and headed off to the airport. I had to leave that afternoon, but Kevin is actually still there until this Sunday. I hated flying back by myself, it's so boring!! Got back around 915, my dad picked me up and came home to sleeping babies. Was awaken early in the morning (around 315) by a crying Ryan, figured he was still not feeling 100% although he was finished with his meds. Monday was a little rough for Ryan and he fell asleep on the couch at 600, so I put him to bed at 630 to which he didn't argue. At this point I knew we would be visiting the doctor the next morning to see if the strep was still lingering. Beginning at around 1000 I was awaken by Ryan crying from his room, I visited his room at least 10 times during the course of the night. By morning I was exhausted, Ryan was exhausted and feverish and we were headed to the doctor. Emily went to my moms, and we were off to hear the dreadful news that my boy has a double ear infection. Not surprising, but not welcomed either! Went to get more meds and he is doing so much better now. Can't wait to be done with the meds (he hates taking it and I hate giving it) and can't wait for daddy to come home!
