Well.......this morning we got up to see our wonderful friends off so they could go back home. The 4 of us are still at the condo in Winter Park so as we ate lunch we tried to think of something to do together! Ahh.. haa.. as I glanced at the Guest Guide book I came across the Corona Pass Road, which is a 12-mile scenic dirt road. It says that a 2 wheel drive vehicle can access the road to the top of the 11,660 ft mountain, little did they tell you that if rain, or hail, or a small amount of snow came through that you might want to think about 4-wheel drive. That is what we encountered on this 12 mile journey.
NOTE: There are several really cool pictures...as usual, click any of the pictures here to be taken to the full album!

We decided to have a day at the Winter Park resort where we purchased an all day pass to do everything!! The kids (and I guess the adults) had a blast. We started about 11am and stayed till closing at 5:30pm where we slid down the Apline slide, went up the Zephyr Scenic lift ride, did the GyroXtreme, Leaps and Bounds Bungee and the mini golf...wow, what a day!

We have completed day 3 and finally arrived in Winter Park! However, it is funny how the shortest trip seemed to take the longest. It was only 3 1/2 hours compared to the 6+ hours of the previous days, but it felt like 12. Nevertheless, we made it while enjoying an amazing view that even took us above the tree line.

We're now finished with Day 2 of our trip. And for those who are wondering, the number of poopy diapers did not disappoint...though I DID give Lisa a break today and change one for her. Who says I never help?

Well...we made it away from the driveway on time at 10am after stopping 3 times before the sidewalk started. We had a nice goodbye by Em and Kai!
Our first stop was in Carefree for coffee (I know, I know and little early) and a snack for Justin. We proceeded to Flagstaff where we experienced a nice rain shower and made our first detour to take Justin to see part of the Grand Canyon. We stopped first at a little scenic stop and did a little hike to a 1000 ft cliff with NO railing.
