Happy Labor Day Weekend & "Unofficially" Goodbye to Summer!

Happy Labor Day to all you hard working souls out there!! This is usually a sad weekend, it's the "unofficial" end to summer. I think here in CO it feels like summer till the first snowflake! Anyway, this weekend we were not at the lakes getting it all packed up for the winter. Instead we were here in CO enjoying our beautiful state. Saturday morning we checked Priceline.com and William Shatner helped us negotiate a hotel room up in the mountains. Good deal. We headed up to Summit County. We started out in Vail and walked around the village. Vail is a walking town which was quiet beautiful!! Lots of posh shops and not to mention there was a Food and Wine Festival going on (that would have been so much fun had it just been Joel and I). We went up the gondola to the top of the mountain. It was so beautiful! Brayden really wanted to go on this bouncy trampoline thing (look at pictures) so we let him do it. He had to be 30lbs so he barely made! He had the best time in the world. He jumped so high and then he was trying to do back flips but really could get himself around. It was worth the $ to let him do it. Afterwards we went down the mountain we head to Frisco. We went out to eat and then to our hotel. Sunday morning we went and explored the little town and had breakfast before heading up to Breckenridge. We, of course, had to stop at the Breckenridge Brewery to eat lunch and sample the selection. I had the Agave Wheat beer which was quiet fabulous!! We drove around the area before heading back through the scenic Loveland Pass. Everything was so beautiful and green unlike here in the Eastern Slope. It was about 76 yesterday but felt a lot warmer due to being so high up. We plan on going back very soon to do lots of biking and exploring! It will be so much easier next year when the both can ride happily next to each other in the Burley (am I kidding myself??).

I melt my Daddy's heart with my little smile and puppy eyes......yes I can already get out of trouble this way (I was trying to go up the stairs).

Brayden was in awe of this car made completely out of Legos at Vail.
There was a dunk tank to dunk the local firefighters for charity. Brayden actually hit the target!
