Colorado, Day 3

 Our third day of our trip most of the group decided to go to Vail to see the Betty Ford Gardens and shop in their downtown. The Walleses decided to stay in Breckenridge and go hiking. There are MANY miles of hiking trails in Breckenridge and it was very hard to pick one that would be both equally fun and also interesting for the kids. Luckily we decided to drive to the visitors center off the Main Street and ask a local for a good recommendation for a family hike. We decided to take Sawmill Trail, a 1.3 mile trail,  which was just a short walk from where our car was already parked. We saw little streams while we gently gained in our elevation and also tiny mushrooms and ended at a reservoir at the top of our mountain. It was probably Evans and my favorite part of the trip. The kids had a blast and were engaged the entire time. 

That night we drove to Denver to watch some baseball. Liam loved the atmosphere and has declared that the Rockies are his second favorite team after the White Sox of course. The Rockies ended up losing to the Cubs but we all still had a great time. Glad we could check another stadium off the list.
