Meyers Minutes: Heaven on Earth - Steamboat Springs!

As we do every year, we headed to Steamboat Springs in honor of our anniversary. It doesn't matter to us that our annivesary is in May; as long as we get up there some time in the summer, we're happy! Our friends, the Mays, are always so generous in letting us stay in their beautiful condo for the weekend - thanks Chris and Resa! This year we did several activities that we've never done before, despite our 20ish trips to this amazing mountain town. The kids are old enough to enjoy some things we couldn't do before and it was great! Here was the breakdown of the weekend:
exploring activities at the mountain base
Yampa River Botanic Gardens
Mini-golf
family naps
hot tub
dinner at a new restaurant in town - Boathouse Pub (right on the river downtown!)
day at Old Town Hot Springs
more naps!
meeting up with college and MPI friends
mini-hike

We had perfect weather and really enjoyed having an entire weekend with just the 4 of us!

Hangin' at the Hot Springs - Jon bought Nachos and Brogan couldn't get enough of the delicious cheezy sauce!

Maddie and me - our little fish wasn't tall enough to ride the giant waterslide (see background of this photo) so she went ahead and passed the swim test in order to do so! She rode the PITCH BLACK tube slide (230 feet long) 3 times and absolutely loved it!

The gorgeous Yampa River - just outside the great little restaurant we discoverd

Classic Steamboat photo - the horse outside F.M. Light and Sons

Trying on western gear inside the store!

Picnic at the mini-golf course. Maddie chose to play golf rather than do the alpine slide (a choice she admitted regretting later that day!), but B LOVED the golf!
