Today it was a nice cool fall day and we took a drive to the mountains (only about and hour to hour/half away). It was around 60 degrees at home but when we got to the top of one of the mountains (at about 8,000 feet) it had dropped 20 degrees. We had rain (thunder/lightning), hail, sleet and snow all in the matter of seconds! It was pretty amazing. Dominic enjoyed seeing snow, though we had been in search of fall foilage. We ended up driving through a place called Central City and Blackhawk. Small towns, but BIG on casinos. It was an old train station town, so Dominic enjoyed seeing the trains they had all over. We went off on any dirt road we could find...just to see where it took us. Dominic wanted to go "mudding" of course. "Not in mommy's truck!" Maybe him and daddy can go find mud another time.
The views were georgeous, even though it was cloudy. We saw a heard of deer cross the road too. It is crazy to see HUGE houses perched on top of every mountain top. I can only imagine the view from some of them.
We also went to the Bass Pro Shop. That place is HUGE. Gino and Dominic enjoyed playing on all the ATV's and climbing in the boats. Gino did not like all the animal displays though.
Enjoy the pictures!!! Hopefully will go exploring again next weekend!
