Colorado

We just got back from the most amazing (and exhausting) family vacation! Our neighbors gave us this recommendation years ago and we were finally sold on it when another set of family friend suggested it this past year. We spent almost an entire week in the gorgeous Colorado Rockies at a YMCA family camp called Snow Mountain Ranch. We made the 16 hour journey out there in one day and packed in five full days of fun before heading home (with a quick detour to see our cherished family friends in Colorado Springs). Our neighbors/friends/family, the Rojas crew, joined us on this adventure and we absolutely loved our time with them.

The view as you head towards the mountains is breathtaking!

We loved hanging out at the rec center.







There were so many fun parks on property...and an awesome mini golf course.





Fishing was successful for Caleb only.
We loved the low ropes course.







The views from our cabin were amazing! If we weren't just sitting there admiring the view, we were playing games or enjoying big family meals together.




The tubing hill was a blast!

Everyone enjoyed the craft center.


The rock was was definitely a challenge...unless, of course, you're Joel!



 Zip lining was awesome!
 Some people might become future hunters with Tyler!


 Everyone had an amazing time with white water rafting!

We loved meeting the sled dogs.



So many beautiful hiking trails...not nearly enough time to enjoy them all.
















There's always time for ice cream and s'mores!





We are so glad we took a detour to see Mark, Madelyn, and Lydia!
