Panning for Gold

We had fun at the Ghost Town Museum, which is a little western town reconstructed in a big building.  

Out back, the kids enjoyed panning for gold.

We had a lot of fun here.  It was pretty inexpensive, and it kept us occupied for an hour or two.

Then, we went to the house.  My parents rented a house for all of us, and it was huge and amazing.  This was the view from the porch:

When we first pulled up, it was cloudy, so we didn't even see the mountain in the distance.  We are pretty sure it is Pike's Peak.
