Trip to Colorado October 2015

Well to say I'm a little behind on this Blog would be quite the understatement
In October our two daughters and Granddaughters gave us the
oppertunity to take a Fall road trip to Colorado and see Jeremy and Chad
We had a wonderful trip and saw some beautiful country

So our trip started off with us heading to Billings Montana our first night and then we headed south into Wyoming, with our goal to make it to Littleton, Colorado
Littleton, is where the boys live and we stayed with them for three days
what a blessing to have this time with them and not have to share them with anyone.

We left the boys place and headed to a Dude ranch in Jackson Wyoming
Heart Six
We had a fun night in a cute little cabin.Great pizza and a big warm
fire in the main lodge
The next morning we were off after breakfast to see Jackson Hole
fun town and you could shop for hours if you had lots of money! 
From here we headed through  Grand Tetons National Park and then into Yellowstone
It was beautiful but the clouds were low so we didn't see the tops of the Tetons
but we saw the Wind River range and they are actually a larger range of Mountains then the 
Grand Tetons
Spent the day seeing animals and lots of beautiful nature ! 
We spent our last night in West Yellowstone and then headed home the next day
Wonderful trip and would do it again in a heart beat !!!

Fall leaves in Montana







Day two left Billings and headed to Littleton, Colorado
