Breckenridge is definitely a ski town! Many stores were closed because the summer months were over but were also not open since many of the ski resorts have not opened yet either. Because of that, we simply walked around the town but found some fun things to, well mainly, eat. A fry place with so many many choices of fries - thanksgiving fries, breakfast fries, Canadian, fries in a pickle ... the list goes on and on. Chris is determined to take the boys back there and try all some of them.
We also found the most wonderful cookies there! They are a little dangerous but so so good!
Not my picture but wanted a remembrance of the delicious cookies!
When we first arrived, it began snowing just a little and as the day went on it increased but didn't seem all that bad. Elianna loved it and tried catching them to eat them (in addition to licking them off of Chris's hat - gross!) and had us all singing "If all the snowflakes were lemon drops and gum drops oh what a snow that would be! I wouldn't mind if the sun never shined 'cause I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide singing Ah Ah a Ah Ah a Ah Ah all the time!"
Because Elianna had karate that evening, we wanted to make sure we made it back in time so we left at 1:45pm for the 1-1/2 hour drive home. But.... it ended up being so snowy and dangerous on the pass back home. Cars were swerving everywhere. Accidents all over. Cars stuck. Wheels spinning. Truckers putting on their tire chains. It was crazy! At one point, a state trooper was standing (very bravely) in the middle of the road telling cars that were having problems driving to pull over. Those of us with AWD or 4WD were allowed to go on. I have never been so thankful for Reny than yesterday! He did so great in the snow!
Unfortunately it took us 3-1/2 hours to get home due to all the accidents, crazy drivers and, of course, the snow. We had to go directly to Elianna's karate lesson but after that, I was never so happy to be home!
