Vacation 2010 ~ Fun Valley, CO

This year we finally made it back to Colorado to camp at Fun Valley! Dan's parents caravaned up there with us! The boys got to ride in luxury in their motorhome therefore, Dan and I rode in luxury too. ha!!

It's a looooong 12 hour drive, so it's exciting to finally pull into Fun Valley campground~
We visited the Great Sand Dunes. We had been there when Drew was, maybe three. He didn't remember it, so I'm glad we went again!
It is sooo pretty there! We picked a cool day to visit, which is good on all that sand!

Once we got to Fun Valley, we took off on our bikes~This trail was alittle scary with the edge right on the water!!
Awwww, a little duck family! these baby ducks were soooo cute!!
We did a lot of this too!! They even caught a few!
Fun Valley makes brothers love each other!!! Awwww!
We played games at night with Dan's parents! Zach loves games, so he was in heaven!!!
Good night!

Good night Pluto! ☺
We took the four wheeler and went exploring! Dan and his dad seemed to have covered almost every inch of the South Fork area already!!
We four-wheeled and hiked to this spot~ It was beautiful!
Dan being extra adventurous!!!!!!
We also played in the creek. Or at least the boys did. I was the on location photographer! ha!

That rapid was fun!!!
My three boys♥
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!! ☺
Continental Divide

We stopped at this waterfall and the boys went exploring!

And even went behind it~
here I am on one of our trail rides~ It started raining on us, so I have a rain poncho on!

My handsome guys!
One rainy afternoon, we visited Creed, CO and went on tour about their old mines there.
It was interesting and the boys really enjoyed it!
We went up the hill and looked at some real old mines! So beautiful and interesting!
Back at camp we golfed, paddle boated, ate and shopped! We loved going to the Lodge and checking our WiFi and playing our "Words with Friends" games!
Oh, Fun Valley, you are so fun! You never fail to make our vacation fun and restful! We can't wait until our next visit to see you!!

Fun Valley is in South Fork, CO. It is near Alamosa and Pagosa Springs,CO. Yes, thanks to the generosity of Dan's parents, we have a trailer. We would LOVE to meet in the middle sometime Julie! That would be awesome!!
