Colorful Colorado

When we first moved to Colorado, 4 years ago this month, I thought Colorado had 3 colors - brown, green, and white (snow). I have since learned that the term Colorful Colorado refers to the amazing purple mountains, summer wildflowers, and the yellow aspens!

Every year we try to catch the aspens at their peak, but this year was the very best we've seen yet! We got to take a Sunday drive to Cripple Creek a few weeks ago and then the next weekend we went to Crested Butte!

The photos just don't do it justice...
