Breckenridge

Late in the afternoon of July 17th we pulled in to what would be our home for the next week in Breckenridge, Colorado.  We were a weary and exhausted bunch, looking to eat and drift off to sleep.  So instead of just grabbing dinner we decided to push our luck with our little ones and go grocery shopping!  If you've ever taken tired and hungry children to the grocery store when you are not really sure what you want to buy, you can imagine the experience we had, lets just say next time we will wait until the next day....

None the less we finally ended up eating and explored our area a little bit.  The area is simply spectacular, unbelievable really.  We fell in love with the mountains on sight.

The next morning was a big farmers market in the downtown area of Breck and we thought it would be a great place to go, we went and the weather was just perfect, the whole scene was more than I could have ever hoped for, complete with a local folk singer singing "Rocky Mountain High".  It was the perfect introduction to the community.  We spent the rest of the day hiking and exploring, this would be the theme for the rest of our trip.

We went searching for moose, bears, elk, deer, badgers, and even an owl.  We did find a badger, owl, and deer, but I guess we will see the rest the next trip.

We met up with several old friends and it was a blessing to share time and space with them.  Our focus was on being together and enjoying each other, and we accomplished this beyond our wildest imagination.  We had a great time, I will leave the rest of the telling to the pictures, I know they do a better job.

Peace
