Our week in Colorado was filled with many adventures as it was best to get out of the condo every day. I brought many activities for a rainy day but luckily (or unluckily since we had hoped for it) we never had a rainy day. Pagosa Springs is about an hour east of Durango and it's about another 1/2 an hour on to Mesa Verde from there. We took a day trip to Mesa Verde and toured Spruce Tree House where Bubba went into a reconstructed Kiva. He also received his Junior Ranger badge of course.

Mostly we took drives and hikes to see various waterfalls. The one below is Treasure Falls . . . .


JP also climbed Wolf Creek Pass on his bike while I kept the kids strapped in the van and drove up. At the top there was a little creek where the kids were able to play while we waited on him to finish. We then drove up a little further to an overlook where there was still some snow which was a big hit (until Bubba realized it was really cold on his incorrect choice of shoes).
We had a great time and most of all enjoyed the beauty of just being in the mountains and we learned that the easiest form of entertainment for restless children is to find some rocks and water!
