Color Saturday

Powderhorn Ski Resort hosts a yearly "Color Sunday" with entertainment, free rides up the ski lift and other events during the weekend forecasted to be the peak of fall colors on the Grand Mesa. We've never made it on an actual Sunday. Maybe next year. We enjoyed the colors this year, but on Saturday.

The aspens are at their prime right now. I think this is the best I've seen while living in CO. In years past we've either gone too early or too late. This weekend was perfectThe air was quite crisp up there. Down in the valley we're still been simmering around 80 degrees. After a couple of weeks in nice fall weather in Michigan I've had a hard time readjusting to wearing shorts, tank-tops and sunscreen.

Cora understands what it means when we say "smile!" She will usually give us either a cute, sweet smile or a big cheesy smile when we ask her to smile. She doesn't quite like to look at the camera for a picture, but she understands that she gets to see a picture of her self on the screen afterward and she loves to look at the pictures!
