Colorado Part 2....

 The house we stayed at was amazing. It was perfect for our 2 families!!! Lots of room and incredible views!!! It's called Eagle's Nest for a good reason!

The first afternoon we decided to take a short hike close by the house. We did about 3 miles total and the scenery was beautiful!!! The only wildlife we saw was a beaver but we kept hoping for a bear or moose!! 




The next morning we headed out for White Water Rafting!!! We were all so excited (some of us were a bit nervous). We were booked on the 4 hour family adventure. We had the best guide for our boat. There was a lot of calm water before we got to the "water park" which had some class 3 and a few class 4 rapids. 

The kids took turns "riding the bull" (sitting on the very front of the boat).


We all look pretty good!!! So focused on our rowing!



 About half way through we had a break for snacks and water. And then they let the kids jump off this rock into the 55 degree water!!! They had so much fun they all did it a second time. There were 4 boats total in our group. 






 We're a pretty cute crew!!! It was so much fun and the kids had a blast. I think it was the perfect mix of rapids, calm water and fun!!!

 Afterwards we were SO hungry and very tired!!!!
