Colorado Getaway #2 :: Day 1 :: Beaver Creek

Colorado ski resorts are quite the popular destinations in the winter, but these resorts shine just as brightly in the summer months with all the outdoor activities! This weekend we took off on a little road trip to the Vail area on Friday & Saturday and Aspen on Sunday.

Day 1: Beaver Creek
Riding a ski lift to the top of the mountain. Seeing a deer from our bird's eye view on the lift. Playing in a sky-high sandbox. Touring the Western town at the mountaintop. Splashing away the afternoon in a fountain. Dining at Blue Moose Pizza. Roasting s'mores and listening to live music at the base of the mountain. Riding in the gondola (or the "box" as Reid calls it). Visiting the horse stables. Bravely trying trampoline bungee jumping. Exploring Beaver Creek to the fullest!

Up, up & away on the ski lift

This sandbox is more than 2 miles high

Outlaws at the Saloon

Yeehaw!

Going down the mountain.

Water + boys = good thing we had some beach towels in the car!

Roasting s'mores in the evening

Reid's favorite part of the day...
riding the gondola and eating his s'more.
