Colorado Visit Part Three: Green Mtn. Falls

Ahhh...we arrived in our destination of Manitou Springs which we stayed at for the next 10 days. It was nice to get there and unpack. Here I am looking relieved and chillin on the couch.

Beau & Maizie quickly took to the dusting of snow that was on Pappy's deck. They threw it at each other but mostly ate it.

Here they are all excited to ride in Pappy's truck! It really is quite exciting!

We went to Green Mountain Falls to eat breakfast at a place called "The Pantry". The Wade/Weizenecker families have been coming here forever, so it was a must during our visit!! We had a great time catching up with Uncle Bob & Aunt Nikki!!

Outside of the restaurant there is this lake. See how it is frozen around the edges but thawed out in the center? Well, I don't know what Beau was thinking but he ran right out onto that ice to catch himself a duck, luckily he tripped and fell which made him realize his crazy mistake. That day could have got real whiny real fast!!

Theo thought he wanted to get down and crawl around on the freezing ground and was quickly convinced that being carried was the way to go.

A different part of the lake actually was frozen solid and was cleared for skating. Here's a couple of weird skaters I saw there.

Jack kept throwing the snow up so it would fall on him. Such a cutie!

The kids helped Pappy & Daddy cut down the Christmas tree for Pappy's house! It looks good!
