Colorado ~ Here we Come!!


Last night we finally arrived in Winter Park, CO! It was a long and slow drive...as we crossed the hot, blazing 111 degree Nevada desert. I finished all 12 of my chinese soap opera dvds within the first 10 hours of our 14-hour drive!

Thank goodness for portable DVD players....the kids didn't fight or whine in the 2-day drive and enjoyed all their cartoons! The rock mountains are so beautiful and we couldn't help but give praise to the God who created such awesome works of nature. People were river rafting down Colorado river as we drove alongside them. One day, we will be like them, going down rapid water and holding on to dear life!




When we arrived, 9110 ft. above sea level, our 2-story cabin welcomed us. Inside, the furnishing was cozy and cute! We stepped into a virtual model (cabin) home, and everything from chairs, TV stand, table, to fireplace mantel, dressers and beds were decorated with a spectacular "Big-Bear" theme! This was a dream come true!




This place had little dust (due to high elevation?) and looked brand new! We could consider retiring here! The air is so fresh....the trees so green! The kids watched Spongebob Squarepants all day long and enjoyed the board games generously provided by the owner. We cooked our own chinese-style noodles too! Mmmm........




Forgetting all I learned from my chemistry class, PV=nRT happened and I popped open Abbie's formula...and powder flew everywhere! Then we opened the luggage and hubby screamed, because Abbie's jar of lotion exploded and 'moisturized' hubby's King James Bible. Now we open everything from yogurt to shampoo gingerly...as we learned that there really is more pressure when you're high at the top!
