Happy Hallow closed it doors in 2008 and it was supposed to open a year later, but it didn't. We anxiously waited for its opening day and alas its finally come. The park looked beautiful. The merry-go-round was restored and the animals are very cool. Cameron chose a horse and Riley chose a dinosaur.
While the park looks amazing, not all the parts are complete. The meadow still needs to be planted. Its typical that the mud and mess would be one of the biggest draws.
We visited the barn where we got to feed the animals including the really cute donkey. We went through the maze, rode the restored rides, played on the playground, strolled through the zoo, and finally took a ride on Danny the Dragon. The wait was worth it.
Turtle was spending too much time in Aspen so we went to get him ;-) The kids were really excited to surprise Turtle and so we joined his ski trip. It was Cameron and Riley's first time in Colorado and Mommy and Daddy's first time skiing there.
Cameron had planned to go skiing, but when she learned that she was going to have to wear all her ski gear, she opted for the day care instead. The hotel was right on the slopes and there was a piano in the lobby that Riley loved to play.
We explored downtown and played in the frozen park. The slide was tricky but the swings and rope net were fun. The most fun was the snow, but our favorite part of the trip (besides the powder slopes) was the food. We ate at the Stew pot everyday and Mommy is now looking a recipe for white chicken chili. Its delicious! 
On our last day we went up the Gondola from downtown to explore the top of the mountain. It was really beautiful and we now understand why this is Turtle's favorite ski town.
