One thing that has been on Jon's bucket list for several years has been to rent Jeeps and drive up the mountain. Since COVID closed most of our usual Breckenridge activities, we decided this was the perfect year to do it! I was a little nervous about driving a Jeep up a steep mountain but if there is one thing MS has made me better at, it's getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things, especially when it means my kids get to try new things.
Parker was so excited when Jon and I got back from the rental office and I had been given a yellow Jeep! His favorite color since he was a toddler has been yellow and he's already talking about how he wants his first car to be yellow.
Jon and Emily's neighbors also happened to be in Breckenridge on vacation so they joined us on our Jeep adventure. Our first destination was a mountain very close to our condo. The views at the top were beautiful but it was VERY cold and windy and the kids became miserable fairly quickly. Needless to say, we didn't stay long!
Parker was SO cold at the top! He couldn't wait to get back in the Jeep!
The first thing the kids saw when we stopped at the top was snow! They couldn't wait to go play in it! They weren't dressed for the snow and their hands were completely frozen by the time they finished.
There was also a beautiful lake up at the top of the mountain that the kids enjoyed exploring.
Parker chose to sit the second ride out so Ryan went with Jon and the girls rode with Emily and I. We definitely had the more fun car! There was a lot of laughing and giggling as we went over all the bumps on the trail.
Last year, we went white water rafting. This year, we rented Jeeps! I can't wait to see what new adventure the kids and I will attempt together next summer!
