Over Labor day we made the very long trip to Colorado for my sister's wedding. When searching for hotels for us to stay at, I found a nice condo in Winterpark that was much cheaper than a hotel. The best part was that it was a three bedroom, 3 bathroom townhome with a full kitchen. This made traveling so much easier since everyone could have their own room and we could eat there. It even had an indoor hot tub!!
The only bad thing about staying in the mountains was that it a an hour and a half drive down the mountain, which included a 45 minute drive through Berthoud pass which is full of switch backs and a very scary drive at night!! Here is a some pictures of the mountains.
A view of the road from the top of the mountain.
A few pictures of the townhome.
The living room
The kitchen
Dining area. This table was perfect for all the kids to eat around!
The peapods that the boys slept in. These are one of the best inventions ever! They are basically a little personal tent that folds down to nothing.
The view
The boys sitting on the "porch". It was indoor but had a nice view of the mountains
The first couple of days we were there we did wedding stuff. The boys had a blast at the rehearsal dinner and the reception!

The next day we went to an amusement park in the foothills called Heritage Square. They have a lot of mountain stuff and most importantly they have fun kids rides!

We spent one whole day in Winterpark. It was fun to hang out in the mountains.

One of the boys' favorite thing to do was ride the Cabriolet. It was a free ride between the parking lots. Here is picture of the kids riding
The creek
The Coca Cola Bear
This guy was really cool. He was a living statue and would only move if you gave him money. Britton really enjoyed this and this guy got a lot of money from us ;)
They thought this boy was fun!
The little boys were a little freaked out by this tall girl. She had on stilt type things, but they had rubber bottoms so she could jump really high. She was really sweet and they warmed up to her a little.
After our fun morning we stopped for lunch and ate outside in the clean mountain air.
After our fun days we had to make the long drive home. 2 days in a car with 5 children is just a bit stressful!
