Colorado Adventures- Photo Overload!

I wanted to post some pictures of the fun we had in Colorado....but I couldn't pick just a few!!! We have tons of adorable pictures of fun stuff we did around the house! We played tons of games, had skit night, dance parties and enjoyed our vacation....but for this post its all about the adventures!

Colorado Sand Dunes!
This place is really cool (actually its hot..the sand at least!) Its a National Monument located in the middle of the beautiful Colorado Mountains! The sand looks fake as you drive up to it! We walked, and walked and played in the sand!

Drive In Movie!
I have never been to a drive in! Honestly I didn't think there were any left!! When we saw it was Showing Night at the Museum 2 we had to go! It was awesome! The kids loved the old fashioned playground! We bundled up and enjoyed the stars, mountains in the background and a funny movie!


Rafting!
Yes, we actually took our 7 kids white water rafting!! We took the mild course down the Rio Grande! It was awesome!!! We've got more pictures but they are on Susans camera!

Explored the Countryside!
We took lots of time to play outside and explore the mountains! These pics are from a scenic drive we took one day! MaryCate and Trey made a canoe out of this old stump! And Jim found some old jaw bone from some animal!



Pagosa Springs- Natural Hot Springs
This place is AMAZING!!! Greg grew up camping in Pagosa Springs! It has to be one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. The kids loved the natural hot springs! We got in each and every pool...even if we only put a toe in some! (Some were up to 117 degrees!)



While in Pagosa we got some fake facial hair from a toy machine!! We got more laughs out of these fun .50 items! Meet my son, Mario or Luigi!


Snow Sleding!
We heard there was still snow up on the mountain so we set out to find some!!! And waaaa la! It was at the Great Continental Divide and we had a blast playing in the snow...in JUNE!


Campfires and Cookouts!
Mining for Gold, Silver or any other shiny rock!
We were only a few minutes away from a mining town, so one day we went to the mining museum & looked for treasures of our own!
