Latest Vacation- Part 3

The last part of our trip was in Durango, CO. I LOVE this town!!! We only had one full day there, but we made the most of it. We spent some time downtown, at Purgatory, swimming at the pool, and relaxing in the condo. Claire and I played dress up and took a picture for Allan. Claire absolutely LOVED her dress adn told us all that she looked pretty. It was a little hard getting that feather off her head.Claire is a bit obsessed with horses these days and was so happy to find this sculpture near the train station. I was so happy that some of her cousins could be with us. They had so much fun together.Claire was thrilled when she saw the local "Thomas" in town. We will definately be heading back when Claire is a little older and will really appreciate the Durango-Silverton trip on the train.


Claire loved playing with rocks on this trip. Hanging out at Purgatory was no exception. While we waited in line for the lift up to do the Alpine Slide she stuffed her pants with these little rocks.
Claire called the lift big swings. She was so brave and well behaved while on the lift. The second time we rode up a mountain storm blew in and we were even HAILED on. Claire said "stop it rainging". I could not believe that I had my baby on a ski lift in a storm. She never cried, but didn't like it quite as much as the first time up.

I have loved the Alpine Slide since I was a little girl. We were racing Gibbie down the mountain, but Claire didn't love going super fast over the bumps. She said "too fast mommy". Needless to say my mom won the race and my dad almost ran into the back of us.
Let me just say that the most fun thing I have done in a while is bungee trampolining! All the kids, and me, took our turn and I even got brave enough to do some back flips. My arms were dang sore the next day.

Look at my sweet Claire in her bungee gear. She didn't go quite as high as the rest of us, but I helped her do a flip. She LOVED it so much! As a matter of fact all of Purgatory heard her desire to stay on the trampoline as she screamed hysterically while being unbuckled from the bungee.Claire and I had a very special time together. I could not have survived this trip without my parents help...thank you both SO much!!! I have not been on a Selke family vacation in years and this was great, I hope that Allan can join us the next time around.
