Colorado Part 3....

 The second full day we headed out to Silverton and Ouray. In Silverton we took a tour of 100 Year Old Mine. It was pretty interesting but we didn't get many pictures. The kids spent a lot of time panning for gold before the tour started.



After Silverton....we did the worlds scariest mountain drive to Ouray. About 20 white knuckling miles hanging off the side of a mountain. I couldn't even look!!!!

But once we got there, it was the cutest little town. It's called "the Switzerland of Colorado" because it's so pretty nestled in the mountains. We went to the hot springs and swam for awhile. They had 3 pools that were spring fed. And 2 pools that were city water. The kids loved a water obstacle course and had a bunch of races against each other.




It really was a beautiful setting!!!!
