Baswell Blabber: Colorado June 2010

In June we went on vacation to Beaver Creek, Colorado with Grandmama and PawPaw. We had such a fun time and the pictures below can verify that. There are so many family/kid summer activities offered in the summer in the Rocky Mountains. Baker loved talking about the Rocky Mountains and between him and PawPaw we got to listen to a lot of John Denver's Colorado Rocky Mountain High!

We started the trip off in Idaho Springs, CO with lunch at Buffalo's and play time on an old train...you know who's favorite!!

Baker sat on this rock and watched the rafters float down the river.

"King of the ROCK"

When we got to resort, Baker got to check out the fun Jumping Bungee thing. He loved it.

At the Vail Village Farmers' market and fun festival Baker got to test out is "fiddle" playing skills.

Next we headed out to Glenwood Hot Springs to swim in the gigantic pools and Baker got to experience a super fun water slide. I think he rode it 7 times. "Again, Again!!!"

Nice view and in 90 degree water and 75 degree outside temps...ahhhh!

"Again, again Daddy!"

After a fun day nothing satisfies better than a nice cool ice cream cone!

Eagle River that Eric and I rafted. No pics of us rafting...it was a little too rough for picture taking.

Glenwood Canyon, CO

Baker and Daddy go fishing...they didn't catch anything.

Baker's first ice skating experience...and it was an experience.

He would rather play in the ice.

We also got to take a train ride on a real locomotive from the 1800's. Baker was a big fan.

Waterfall view from the train.

We rode across this "Biga, biga bridge".

You can see the big bridge if you squint.

Next was the bus ride. The last day we told Baker we would do whatever he wanted to do that day and this was first on his list. We rode down and back up the mountain on the public transit bus. He LOVED it!
