Needless to say we have kept very busy this summer during our Colorado visit. One of the first weekends that we were here, we headed up to Nederland to fulfill two wishes. Wish one was Hailey wanted to go to "her mountains" and wish two was that the girls wanted to go on a carousel ride. Check and double check, thanks Gra and Grandpa!!
The story of this carousel is actually kind of neat. A man bought the carousel about 25 years ago and began carving each of the characters on the carousel by hand. The profits from the carousel go to children with special needs, and the rides are only $1.00 a person. What a great way to spend a Sunday in Colorado.

Grandpa had a pretty good time!

As we were headed back home Hailey said to me "Mommy, I said that I wanted to go to my mountains today." I replied, "Hailey, we were in the mountains all day today." "No Mommy, this is just a bunch of rocks and trees, not the mountains!!"
