From tank tops and shorts to long pants, jackets, and SNOW!
The next weekend we went to Aspen. We stayed at a place in town and some of us had lots of fun. Friday we left after school and when we got there we got on our jackets and loaded up in the stroller for a walk in town. We had dinner at Boogie’s and played at a little playground. By that night Autumn had a little fever.
When we woke up Saturday there was a little snow falling so everything got a dusting of snow. Most of it melted by mid afternoon when the sun was shining. From our balcony you could see a lift up the mountain.
Saturday we got up and went to breakfast at a place called Poppycock’s. Autumn was getting whiny so we went back home. Dad and I headed out to a different park by the river while Autumn took a nap. After we played at the park we explored the town and got sandwiches at the deli. We brought the sandwiches back to Mom and Autumn. Later Dad and I went back out to play again and explore some more of Aspen. This time we brought back italian food for dinner. That night we read books with Daddy and got to have some hot chocolate!
While we were out exploring Autumn did a lot of resting and some coloring.
She must not have been feeling well because she even snuggled with Mommy-and she NEVER sits still!
Sunday we got up and packed up to go. We decided that we’d show Mom and Autumn our fun park we found. Autumn didn’t really feel like playing though.
This was across the street from the park.
This was a hideout for my leaves.
This bridge was really wobbly, but I could do it!
Remember I said that we went exploring? Well, we really did explore-see.
A few more minutes on the playground and then we had to go because Autumn was cranky.
This drive to the mountains Dad wanted to go on a different road. We drove over Independence Pass. Towards the top there was lots of snow already. At the top you could stop and walk to a look out.
See that man by the car? He was riding a unicycle up the mountain. It turns out this September he rode his unicycle to the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, this summer he also rode every pass that crossed the Continental Divide in CO.

Pretty picture
See the lookout?
Well, we never actually made it all the way there because from where mom is standing is when I decided I had to go potty. Mom snapped a few quick pictures and then we hurried down the path so I could go!
These were a few pictures she took driving down. We don’t know what is what in these pictures, but Dad says that some of those peaks are part of the Collegiate Peaks, the tallest ones in Colorado.
