Erie, CO!










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie,_CO

Yee haw! We made it to Erie, CO, to our temporary furnished 1000 sq. ft. carriage house. It's behind a big private home that's set in a Celebration or Seaside-designed neighborhood setting. All the houses are HUGE and have front porches. So far, the best two best things about Erie are:

1) The animals!
Horses, cows, llamas, a donkey, prairie dogs, fields of sunflowers and open range. Emerson pet his first horse yesterday. Picture shows dad's hand, but E was right there, petting all the "over the fence" noses. The prairie dogs fill the land behind our cottage, ducking in and out of holes.

2) Community Rec Center - Colorado has a ton of these centers. The one in Erie opened last year and has an amazing rock climbing wall, top of the art nautilus, and in-door water playgrounds. It's sort of like a YMCA on steroids, but nicer. Emerson has discovered that he LOVES to swim! Just like his mama. In the lower right hand side of this photo, Dad and E are floating along the rushing river stream.
