Since I got to have a day of me it was time for Matt to get some serious biking in. I did manage to squeeze in a quick run while they played but then off he went and just us girls had a day to cruise around town, shop, eat and play at the playground. Sometimes these are my favorite days. Mainly cause I get to see a little bit more of what it’s like in the closest town and do things Matt could care less about. Lol


After some fun play at the playground (Telluride really does have an awesome in town play area for kids plus a fishing pond) we walked over to a cute little store called Scarpe. They had a neat little kids section in the back. Maisey found herself an adorable stuffed doggy that she now has to sleep with and does “up highs” with. And I found a super cute backpack with a llama on it for her new school. Next us girls wanted to get a little lunch so we went to Lunch Money for something quick. It was good but the people inside were a bit much. I mean when my 2 year old is whining that she’s ready to go and all we need to do is pay but you’re still standing there asking about what yoga teacher the cashier uses and what’s her instagram (insert eye roll) you’re gonna have a feisty momma behind you. Lol

Every afternoon it rains in Telluride so after her nap we just had some playdough time and waited for dad (BTW yes, she now calls us “mom and dad” 🤦🏻♀️) to come back.


The next morning we headed back to Trout Lake so Matt could take his girl fishing again. Matt caught one and after un-hooking had Maisey grab it and throw it back in the lake. It was pretty dang funny to watch her. After that though all she wanted was dad to catch more fish which was a bust. Knowing we were going to be on the road again we decided to take Mais on a little hike down to the Priest Lake Campground and get some energy out. She found plenty of “muddles” (aka muddy puddles) and it became a goal of hers to find a stick and throw it in each of them. Watching her explore nature and come up with her own little ways of playing in it is always so fascinating.







After the little hike we hit the road to our favorite place of all…..Crested Butte.
