Vail, Colorado

I am FINALLY getting up some pics from our family vacation this August. I have been having technical difficulties so have to cut the trip up into days or locations so that I am not putting so many pictures on one post.
First part of our vacation was to Vail, Colorado. Jason lived in Vail for awhile and wanted to show us around.
Heather and Katie wanted "matching" shirts in Vail. It took us awhile and many stores to find some that were the right colors and matching but we finally did.....


Here is the house that Jason lived in. See the big tree in front of the truck? When Jason moved in here....he was taller than that tree!


Vail is absolutely beautiful....

The COOLEST old tree I have ever seen....

They cut the trees in half to make benches.

Vail downtown....

In one of the many shops.....

We took a Gondola ride to the top of Vail Mountain.....it was breathtaking at the top...8,210 feet high.

On the Gondola riding up the mountain....

It was rather warm that day so the girls (and all the other kids there) went for a dip in the fountain....
