Our children are HUGE fans of Gold Rush on Discovery. It is a reality show and it is pretty cool.
At least they aren't watching SpongeBob, right?
Anyway, we decided that today we were going to search for "gold" - in Colorado, that means gold leaves.
Hehehe.
We were prepared for the colder temps.
Then, off we went to Idaho Springs, for a special fall activity.
They are rebuilding one of the tunnels...it was cool to see.
Once we got there we went straight to Beau Jo's for lunch.
We ordered the Nachos. Lucas was stunned.
And, when at BeauJo's you must order a pizza.
And enjoy the old time activities.
Then we walked over to the train.
The kids enjoyed running and playing in the train. After that we walked up the creek.
Mason, couldn't get close enough...
We had so much fun up by the creek, we decided to go to the actual gold mine.
The kids were thrilled. They knew what all the equipment was named and its function.
Then, of course, we panned for gold.
It was a great day to be outside and with family.
