Colorado Trip ~ Denver & Vail

Craig had to be in Denver for work so the boys and I tagged along.  Daddy had to work on Thursday so the boys and I hung around the hotel and then we went bowling.  We had tons of fun!  Grayson was winning the whole time, but Daddy accidentally took 1st place in the last run.  The next day we drove to Golden and met our old neighbors The Pomerenkes.  They bought a huge house and love it there.  The boys had the best time hanging out with them.  On our way to Vail Liam noticed a homeless woman on the side of the highway.  He was so concerned about her and wanted to bring her food and money.  We stopped by a pizza place and got the boys pizza with an extra one to share.  Liam decided to give the extra pizza to the homeless woman.  We drove over to a gas station close to the highway and Daddy and Liam walked over to the highway underpass to give the woman the food and some money.  Liam asked her if she had a place to live and she told him no.  Liam was sad she didn't have a home, but happy to give her the pizza and money.  Even after we left this woman he talked about her and how he hoped she would have a place to live and food to eat.  It was such a special moment and a memory we will never forget.  I snapped a picture of the woman, but didn't get the best picture.  Afterwards we drove by Daddy's old house where he grew up in Westminster, CO.  Then we drove to Vail and checked into our condo.  We had dinner at Montauk Seafood in Lionshead and then hung out at the condo.  The next day we went exploring in the mountain.  We took the gondola up to the top of the mountain and the boys had fun doing the zipline, jumping on the jumping contraption and going on the roller coaster.  Daddy and I actually went with the boys on the roller coaster several times and loved it.  There was a sign to slow down on the curves, but I somehow missed it.  We were flying!  Afterwards we went bowling and then had dinner at a pizza place in Vail.  The boys had fun swimming in the indoor pool each night.  Overall it was such a fun trip and we got to see a lot of the aspens changing color.  It was beautiful to see the fall colors.
