So Thursday of our Colorado vacation saw the Lee family with a Doctor's appointment for Caleb's toe. Duane and I were again treated to a magnificent breakfast and then took off on a ride in the mountains. Wednesday night, Paul had helped Duane come up with a scenic route that would still be bike friendly (meaning no gravel roads!) so we had a plan and took off. We headed back toward Steamboat Springs but instead of heading directly in we took a detour on "20 Mile Road". This was a beautiful stretch of road, and I only have a couple of pictures of it because the camera battery died. I REALLY wish I'd been able to catch a picture of the sheep stampede we witnessed. Yup. A full out stampede. Of sheep. It was cute. 20 Mile comes out near Steamboat and we used a pit stop opportunity to buy new batteries and then continued our trip. These 3 pics are coming into Steamboat after "20 Mile Road".
From Steamboat, we re-traced our path from Wednesday and went back over Rabbit Ears pass...we wanted to see it from the bike...and it was WAY worth it. This time, we went entirely over the mountain top and stopped to pose for some pictures on the other side. After a while, we just turned around as it was the only way we KNEW to get back where we needed to go. It was a 250 mile ride overall and it was AWESOME!
When we got home, it was play time with the Lee family! Duane got to help organize the toys from the Issiah and Aaron's room. Wish I'd gotten a picture while he was still seated in the middle of it all! After that, more Rock Band, movies, dinner, reading, etc...another perfect day!
...if you want more of our pics, cut and paste this into your browser (let me know if doesn't work!)...
