Durango

We spent a week in Durango with all the Bair siblings and their families. We stayed in a great cabin close to Purgatory that was a 10 minute drive into the forest from the highway and the back patio stairs went into the national forest. Gorgeousness! We enjoyed cool weather and rain every day but it didn't stop us from exploring in Silverton, Ouray, downtown Durango, and Purgatory.

On our way down these stairs to see the bottom of a waterfall in Ouray

At a mine tour in Ouray

After the tour it had been pouring and there was a mud river

Looking back at Ouray through the clouds

Ryder, Gavin & Boston at Purgatory (these boys are going to be trouble!)

The train in Silverton

It's Mater

We borrowed a Polaris and went off roading and for a brief moment road it through town in Silverton until we learned that Colorado doesn't recognize licenses on off road vehicles.

Boston being a cheese ball, literally he would say "cheese" anytime you pointed the camera at him

Gavin being a ham

Me and my Mountain Man Husband Aaron (Pretty much the only pics with me in them were taken by myself)
