Roadtrip Day 4 and 5

While we were in Colorado, the boys and I tried White Water Rafting for the very first time. There was an area that was too dangerous for Finn to participate in, so him and I stepped off the boat for that part, but as you can see, Fox had an absolute blast. 

It was a 3 hour tour, but felt much shorter than that, and while Finn will tell you that it was "terrible", his smiles and squeals told a different story.

This about sums up the rest of the night...haha.

On our last day in Colorado, we went to Purgatory Ski Resort, which was right across the street from our rental. Finn was super excited to do some more mining, he couldn't get enough.

We went up the ski lift and while it was a very long ride, it was probably one of my favorite parts of the day. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

Poor Fox had to ride by himself, but he said he didn't mind.

The alpine slides were next, Finn was super nervous about doing it and told me to go slow, but once we were on it, he kept yelling at me to go faster, faster, faster!

Fox was tall enough to do the big mountain coaster by himself, and we ended up doing it twice, it was so fun.

We took a short drive up to Silverton, an old mining town, and the drive was absolutely stunning.

Finn was all about the gift shops and spending his money. The store owner in this particular shop was so kind, and let the kids pick out some rocks for free, because they were so "well behaved and polite". 

The town was something out of a picture book, unpaved roads and an old church in the center of it.

The boys even found a playground.

On our way home, we stopped by the ski resort one more time to do the mountain coaster again.

It felt so good to be outside, after we had spent the last month mostly indoors in Phoenix.

Finn took a walk with me around our neighborhood lake after we got home, and it was the prefect ending to our trip.
