Day of Fun

Well, Drew decided that today would be his "day of fun." He really deserved one after being in the car for three days. The day began with a morning trip up the mountain and back down the other side on the gondola. It was a fun ride but when we got to Mountain Village, the climbing rock was closed (more about this later). No problem though, we just rode the gondola back down and set off with the scooters (and stroller) to the town park. (and yes - they are both wearing glasses!)

The town park was about 8 blocks away and we kept the boys entertained with scooter practice and pretend scooter "Drivers licenses." Alex, predictably, has turned this into an extensive game of pretend with multiple levels! At the park we played on the play ground and made some new friends. The park was a great size for Molly who wanted to practice on the stairs over and over again.

After lunch, we went back to Mountain village and tackled the climbing boulder. It was hard! Of the three of us (Di, Alex and Drew), Alex was the most successful. There was also a Family Fiesta in the main town square and the boys got to hit the pinata and get some candy (which of course they loved).

As if this wasn't enough, after a short rest, we took the boys to a little skate park and they practiced some moves on the ramps with their scooters.

Maybe not what you'd think of as a perfect Colorado vacation day but it was definitely Drew (and Alex's) day of fun.
