Colorado- Day 9- Hiking to the Dredge

On our last day in Colorado, we decided to take the kids on one more hike.  Last summer, Cory and Parker hiked to the Dredge and thought it would be a nice, easy hike that everyone would enjoy. 
The kids all loved climbing up the huge piles of rocks.
After seeing the dredge, we hiked another mile or so before turning around and heading back.
Eden opted out of the last hike and spent some quality shopping time with Granna.
After we got back to the condo, the kids begged to go play in the river one last time. 
After eating dinner in the condo all week, we decided to take the kids to Eric's for pizza.  They had fun playing video games while we waited for our table.
Eden was thrilled when she won a stuffed animal from the claw machine!
It was a great trip but all good things must come to an end!  After dinner, we headed back to the condo and packed up so that we could get an early start the next morning. We were only going to drive to Amarillo the first day but after making such good time on the first leg of the trip, we decided to drive all the way home that night.  The kids all had their devices and were great travelers.  It was an extremely long day but it sure felt good to sleep in our own beds that night. 
 
 
Despite the stomach bug, we had a wonderful vacation! The mountains are definitely my happy place and I'm already looking forward to going back next summer.  I feel very blessed that we are able to go as a family year after year and I know that our kids will always have great memories from our summers in Breckenridge!
