We had to commit one day to labor over Labor Day weekend, but to even things out we took all day Saturday for an adventure. We went up to Fairplay along a beautiful mountain road. First we went to South Park City, a restored mining town with a train, school, and lots of great period buildings, clothes, etc. Eleanor loved ringing the school bell. Seeing the one room trapper's cabin was a great reminder of the comfort we enjoy now. And boy am I glad I didn't have babies back then!
We had lunch at a park in Fairplay then went on to Woodland Park. Did some geocaching and stopped to get yummy Snickerdoodle Ice Cream at the Donut Mill. If you're ever in Woodland Park - don't miss this place. Donuts the size of your head, yummy ice cream, and smothered breakfast burritos. Apparently a winning combination! It was a fun day. The girls did great on our 300 mile round trip. Here are a few of the photogenic spots I caught throughout the day.
