Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center

When we found out that there was one of the countries best dinosaur museums close to the cabin (Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park), we just had to take Gabriel there!

Eleven Mile Canyon

On Friday, May 31st, we visited Eleven Mile Canyon, which was beautiful!

2 goose families!

 So pretty!
 Lots of deer!



 And 1 more!
 Gorgeous!





 This looked a lot higher/steeper in real life!



 We walked part of this trail, it was fun!




  We sat down on the rock behind Gabriel to eat our lunch...
 Hippo rock!
 And back again...

Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad

 On Thursday, May 30th, we went to Leadville, CO for a beautiful train ride through the mountains.
The drive to Leadville was beautiful too!






 The train in Leadville

All aboard!

Leadville

 Tickets please!
 Happy boy!
 Silly boy playing dead, he thinks it's hilarious because Mommy doesn't like it ;)
 
 Beautiful views!




 

 Photo stop at the water tower...



 
 Family photo!
 Gabriel was done with the pictures... (click to zoom if you can't see his face)!
Alright, one more (fake) smile then...


 On the way home we drove through some big mountains in the Breckenridge area.
 I wouldn't mind living here...



 Getting closer to the cabin...that is Pike's Peak in the background!

Almost 'home', but time to eat first at Lake George Pizza.
 Back at the cabin!
