Summit County

For Thanksgiving, we had a dinner together as a family (with way too much food), and then decided to go adventuring. There's so much of Colorado we haven't seen. For this outing, we spent a day and some change in Summit County, which has several small towns tucked into the Rocky Mountains. The kids loved being in a hotel (even though it means no one gets enough sleep, and boy did we not sleep), where they could enjoy the pool and the complementary breakfast. And we all enjoyed the beautiful mountain views.

The best views came around Dillon Resevoir. We realized that the nice camera was left in the hotel after we went out for the day, so most of these are photo shots (you best believe I was a little sad about that! But the phone did a good job)

It was colder than I expected and I had forgotten to pack my winter coat! Oy!

He always rests so cutely.

She's so happy to be with Daddy!

And with me! See how she can't get enough of me?

We went up to this lookout with the express purpose of feeding the chipmunks that run all over these rocks. Well. We found one. And it might be a squirrel? It was just too cold, we're lucky one came out.

He got to feast on salted sunflower seeds.

All the kids got a turn, though Wren's was more of a tossing of seeds that the chi-rrel ate eventually off the rocks.

Having fun, Dash?

Then we went on a little walk around the lookout, which nobody at all complained about. Nope. No one.

Walks are better when holding hands.

Hey, maybe she does kinda like me.

After we were done at the Reservoir, we walked around the town of Breckenridge. We ate some deliciously overpriced Pho in a very cramped space. But it was tasty. We saw unique games and cool artwork. We saw a lot of skiers taking a break from the slopes. And we all got a yummy cookie.

The family!

Ready to get warm again, Liam?

The next day, we went back to the Dillon Reservoir, but this time walked over by the dam for a while.

We had fun throwing rocks out into the water until we realized there were fishermen dotting the shores below. Whoops!

It was a fun adventure, one we'll have to do again in the summertime. Huzzah, Colorado!
