With a long holiday weekend, what better way to spend the days than with a family gathering of the Nelson crew! We gathered in Georgetown, a quaint little mountain town just off I-70. Here are 23 reasons why we loved this Labor Day weekend...
#1. Boys playing bubbles in the front yard.
#2. Cool fall evenings enjoyed on the front porch.
Craig & 9-month-old Gracyn (in her purple tutu .. go K-State!)
#3. Spying on the neighbors.
This family of deer lived on the slope
behind our rental house. They mostly
ventured out in the evenings.
#4. Spending the weekend in our Georgetown rental house.
This mountain town was booming back in the mining days,
and it still maintains much of the character of that era ...
like the Victorian home where we stayed which
was built in 1876 by the town pharmacist.
#5. Lounging around in PJs right before bedtime.
Such cute cousins!
#6. Monkeys in the bunks.
The boys were super excited that our room
had 2 sets of bunk beds!
#7. Driving through the beautiful
Rocky Mountain National Park.
#8. Spending a quarter to get million dollar views.
#9. Crossing the Continental Divide.
#10. Sitting & swinging on a peaceful afternoon
at the historic Grand Lake Lodge.
#11. Seeing the cousins enjoy their time together!
Reid (3), Luke (6), Gracyn (9 mos.), Dalton (3)
#12. Sharing some "girl" time!
#13. Dining on the deck at Grand Lake Lodge
with this as our scenery. Incredible!
#14. Riding the rails of the Georgetown Loop Train.
Long ago, this was a mining train. Today, it just
hauls tourists and train fans (like us.)
#15. Taking shelter inside the covered car...
That train whistle can be LOUD!
#16. Chugging over a very TALL bridge.
Don't look down!
#17. Twirling round and round on the tire swing
at the Georgetown Park.
#18. Wowing your parents
with your pull-up skills!
#19. Practicing for the firefighters' academy.
#20. Spending the afternoon watching
2 very happy boys play at the park.
#21. Stopping downtown for
an afternoon sweet treat.
#22. Sharing an old-fashioned
root beer float with a cute boy.
#23. Hanging out in the fort behind our house.
What a fun amenity!
