Breckenridge Cabin Vacation

For our family vacation this year we decided to forgo the usual camping trip and make it a cabin trip to Breckenridge Colorado. We all love camping but decided it would be a lot easier with the little ones to do a cabin trip instead. The cabin was a 4 bedroom 2 story place with tons of beds. One room had a king size bed and 2 bunk beds! So we all crammed in and had a great time. We did one activity each day and then hung out and played games, video games, and just socialized at the cabin. It had a nice hot tub and fire pit that we also enjoyed as well as resident doggies that came around. Lily nor Travis came because it would've cost $150 non-refundable deposit for Lily to come :( and it was the opening weekend of Travis' archery hunt. I missed them both. (p.s. the mark on Jacob's head was from a propane lantern that he burnt himself on the day before the trip)






One of the activities we did was ride the train in Georgetown. We chose to do a train since we hadn't ridden one in a really long time and because it was an activity we could all do together. Grandma and grandpa even met up with us for the ride. The sites were beautiful but we mostly enjoyed watching each other play with the grand babies. :) I couldn't pass up getting a picture of grandpa taking a picture of the choo choo- one of his favorite past times.





The next day we went up to the ski resort and did a few activities up there. The older group took turns watching the babies while we rode the alpine slide and coaster. I did the coaster and probably loved it more than I usually would since I'm now a limited mommy. I definitely miss riding roller coasters etc. So the younger girls decided to do a bungee trampoline bounce and Sophie and Jacob rode the ponies. Well, Jacob wasn't too excited about that so Joy got to take his turn. :) Everyone had a great time and Dallen did great once again on another gondola ride.



The last day we spent on Main street and took family pictures and went shopping. It was quite the task trying to get a good picture of all the grand babies-ha! The shops were super cute but not exactly all that stroller friendly with lots of steps to get in. Never would've noticed that before. :) It was a great trip and well worth the 8.5 hr drive.
