"Who painted it here?"

That was the first thing that Cole said when we pulled up to the farm house we were staying at in Colorado. And I just chuckled. We as a family were given the extreme great opportunity to go stay with Tom for 2 weeks in Colorado while he worked.
We were all in heaven...
Life in Ridgway Colorado was very different. It really was green everywhere.
Thunderstorms rolled in every afternoon like clockwork.
This town had NO fast food restaurants (to my delight)
Every place closed by 9pm and were CLOSED on Sundays.
We got to see deer, elk, cows, horses, fish, and foxes daily.
We went hiking, fishing, exploring, and best of all got to be together as a family.

Cole very proud of his fish.

This pond was on the side of the house and Cole got to fish everyday.

On the river that ran through town...
Ranger ride... We were looking for deer "ears"... as Cole called him.

How could you not love that?

This was one of the kids favorite things to do...

View from the house...

Side Porch...

And the storm rolling in...

The pond.

I already miss it.

Upon returning home Cole announced to all...

"I don't want to be in this home anymore. I want to go back to the farm house."

I, secretly, was feeling the same way.
