Over the holiday weekend, we took a family trip up to Steamboat Springs, CO. It’s about a three and a half hour drive north west of Castle Rock. On Saturday we went tubing at the Howelson Ski area right in the downtown area. They have a really cool moving sidewalk that brings you to the top of the tubing area. They call it the “Magic Carpet”. Joshua went down once with Celestie and it was too fast for him. He was too scared to go down again. He enjoyed going down the smaller hills at a much slower speed. Tyler and Samantha on the other hand really enjoyed going down the slope fast. They both went down by themselves many times. Everyone had a great time and fortunately no injuries. That night we watched the movie Tangled in our hotel room. What a cute movie and the kids loved it.
On Sunday we walked around downtown Steamboat and did a little shopping and grabbed lunch. We took the kids bowling that afternoon. Samantha was the winner and she bowled 122 with help from Tyler. Tyler bowled her 10th frame and got 2 strikes for her! Celestie came in 2nd with 119. That evening, Samantha wasn’t feeling well so we hung out in the hotel room while Tyler and Kris went swimming. We all watched “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. Tyler and Samantha loved it.
On Monday we did some more shopping downtown. We got on the road and headed home that afternoon. We all had a great time exploring the town and finding some fun shops and restaurants. The weather was a little wild as it snowed on and off, we had sunshine, and extreme cold and then warm temperatures over the weekend. We all can’t wait to head up there again in the summer time.
