Colorado, Part 6

Thursday morning we once again rose before dawn, dumped sleeping children into the vans, and this time headed off toward Crested Butte, where Amanda's brother lives, to get a different taste of the Rockies.

On the way we saw some beautiful views.






And we crossed the Continental Divide! That was pretty cool!






When we got to Crested Butte, we headed to the beautiful Lake Irwin.



We spent the rest of the afternoon paddle boarding and enjoying the lake, along with Amanda's sister in law Simone and niece Sloane.









AK and Lucas lending a hand to pump up the boards...









It was too much for Amanda. She had to hop on a paddle board, even though she was wearing a baby.


Simone had to put up with an enormous "seaweed" collection from AK and Lucas.




That evening all the grown-ups surprised Spencer and me with tickets to a performance by a concert pianist. They sent us off to enjoy a date night while they took care of supper and bedtime for all the kids!

While we were out enjoying the evening, Simone helped Claire and Val make brownies...




The kids ate supper on the deck (Look at that view!!!!!)...

Then played...


And then had bedtime stories!



Crested Butte ended up being such a sweet little unexpected road trip. We were so happy to be able to enjoy a little time in another beautiful part of Colorado!
