Dinosaur at a bathroom stop. They wanted it to look like the
dinosaur was running and they were holding on.

Our first night in Salida. We went to an awesome pizza place
and relaxed by the Arkansas river. This little red caboose is
a Ferrara tradition when they go, so naturally we had to take
a picture here too!

Our first full day in Colorado, we went to St. Elmo...an adorable
little ghost town with fairly tame chipmunks and ground squirrels.
Everyone thought it was so cool to feed them.

The Great Sand Dunes-this place was incredible. There were mountains of
sand, or more accurately, crushed granite. The kids had a ball playing in the
sand and collecting granite remnants. The guys attempted to climb to the
top of the sand dunes, but they were unsuccessful at reaching the top...next time ;)
We took the kids to play on a dune. It was hard to hide from the fact that the sand
was so hot! Gary ended up carrying some kids up on his back.

| This was a jam packed day! We started the day on the Royal Gorge choochoo. We ate breakfast on the train and took a nice relaxing trip through the Royal Gorge. Then, we stopped by a local winery for a quick wine tasting, ate lunch at a local diner (with the best pie EVER) and finally went to this cool dinosaur experience. The kids were whipped after this day. |
