Steamboat Springs

We spent an entire week in Steamboat Springs. Our first family vacation with just us--what a treat. We really loved Steamboat and plan to visit again soon. Very family friendly. Good food (seriously tasty take out--did you think we'd attempt a nice restaurant with little ones???). Great accommodations.

Every morning I took the kids for a walk along the Yampa River Trail. It was really beautiful. We saw tons of fly fishing--Maggie thought that was pretty cool. (Caroline is in her car seat in the stroller.)

We spent a ton of time just hanging around in the condo.

Miniature golf. Maggie was a little bit reckless and fell (a lot).

Parks:

Fish Creek Falls. There was actually tons of hiking but only one short trail suitable for kids/strollers. It really made me miss hiking.

There were three pools on the condo property. Maggie spent all of two minutes in them. But she did really enjoy the hot springs--just like bath water.

Playground at the condo. Caroline and I watched Maggie run wild. Then Maggie came to play with Caroline's "cute toes-ies"

Bowling. Patrick bowls a lot. He's been on leagues since moving to Colorado. One thing we like to do is hit random bowling alleys as we travel. We've seen some crazy ones! Fortunately Caroline slept through it all.

Exploring the Yampa River Boardwalk. Maggie was being naughty and tried to run away. She needed her daddy's assistance is coming back (her form of passive resistance).

Our friends, the Siggs, were also in town for the latter part of our trip. The boys spent an afternoon golfing while the girls and kids hung out. Vicki took this pic of Caroline.

Lucky for us, we got an up-close view of a hot air balloon landing right as we took off for home. We sat on our balcony and watched (as did every one else in the complex).
