Fun Day for Kids at Breckenridge Peak 8 Fun Park
Jun 23rd 09
Breckenridge
Sunday for Father’s Day we were looking for fun things to do with the kids so we all agreed to head up from Parker to Breckenridge for a day at the Peak 8 Fun Park. It turned out to be a great fun day for all the kids and parents.
VIDEO BELOW! Garrett our 4 year old said the Alpine Slide was waiting for him and only him. Since he’s 4 years old he rides the slide with me which means FREE and we like FREE in our house. So for $25 for three rides Garrett and I hit the sled and plowed down full speed. He giggled the entire way. Loved it! Take the chairlift up to the top then choose your sled. They have three tracks to choose from and they are all pretty much the same. He sat between my legs and we were off. Go try it I highly recommend it.
Alpine Slide
We also purchased tickets for him to climb the Rock Wall and the Sky Fly Power Trampoline. He was so exited that he climbed the rock wall for the first time ever and made it to the top to ring the siren. He was very proud of himself and he let us know so. Then over tot he Power Tramp as we call it and he was well over the top of the bungee bars in seconds. Weighing in at just under 40 pounds allowed him to fly about as high as the ropes would allow. No complaints from him though. Macey our 1 year old watched and enjoyed the entire day from the comforts of her BOB stroller eating snacks and protesting when she was ready to stretch her legs.
Plan on $100 for the day depending on how many kids and what they want to participate it. REMEMBER to take your season pass if you have one to reap a good discount at the ticket window. Best place to park is down by the gondola in town and hitch a ride on the bus that will drop you off right at the ticket counter. The staff is friendly and the equipment appears to be in good shape.

Parker Days Festival a Great Time!
Jun 14th 09
Parker Colorado-Parker Days Summer Festival
If you didn’t make it out to the Parker Days Festival/Carnival you missed out. We did choose the $25 all day pass as I didn’t want to go back and buy tickets all afternoon.I was a little disappointed with the rain and lightening each afternoon but it really didn’t start until just about the time we were ready to leave. I haven’t seen it this crowed in years. There were by far more people here this year than last. Maybe because fewer people are traveling because for the economy? Just guessing.
Our 4 year old had a blast and so did I. I think we rode every ride my son was tall enough to get on a minimum of two times. We did only ride the rides on the kids side and not the big kids section as my son calls it. “The rides on the hill are for big kids Dad” as I was informed several times. He really enjoyed the “cliff jump” over in the O’Brien Park area near the stage. $10 for 7 jumps and that was all he wanted to do most of the day.
My only complaint was that there seemed to be a lot of extra rides outside the main area that you had to shell out cash for. Tickets and wrist bands didn’t apply to these separate venues so parents were forced to pay as you go for the kids to indulge.

Short Sale Homes for Sale – Are they worth it?
Jun 12th 09
Short Sale Problems
I was going to write about short sale success stories but I was talking with another real estate broker in Parker, Colorado and decided to vent some of the current frustrations about selling or buying a short sale home. I believe that over the past two years some brokers have had such a hard time paying the bills that they have resorted to dirty deals and crooked tactics to get a pay check. Below I will list a few thoughts, frustrations, suggestions and plain old law breaking you need to know. I would highly recommend asking these questions to your buyer’s agent or sellers agent before listing or buying your Parker Colorado Home for Sale.
Positive News for Denver Real Estate
Jun 11th 09
Here are some really great articles showing that the Colorado Real Estate and housing woes may hopefully be working towards an end. Colorado lead the nation into this housing bust by nearly two years. Colorado Real Estate was leading the nation in foreclosures at a time when the rest of the country [east and west coasts were appreciating at unsustainable rates] so it’s only natural that we will pull out if this mess before the rest of the nation. This just proves the point that ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL. Listening to the nightly news when they report national housing stats as though they are local news really has little meaning to your local market so beware of what you take from those wild news reports. Many areas of the Denver Metro are experiencing huge buying surges.
I normally do not like to re post articles from other sources but Jim Renshaw from Land Title makes it too easy to share these with you now.

Jobs May Recover First in Colorado: If you want to be in the right place when the recovery starts, that place may be in Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Texas or Washington. The recession didn’t start at the same time in every state, and it won’t end at the same time either. A new forecast from Moody’s Economy.com predicts that jobs growth will return first in those five states, starting in the last quarter of this year. read more here
Colorado Business Conditions Improve, Goss Index Shows: A monthly indicator of expected business activity in Colorado improved in May to its highest level in several months, Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said Monday in his monthly regional Business Conditions Index survey. read more here
City of Grand Junction Selected as Large Community of Year: GJEP nominates City based on economic development accomplishments. Each year EDIE awards are given by the Economic Developers Council of Colorado (EDCC) to acknowledge individual, corporate and community contributions to the economic development of Colorado. read more here
Boulder Named “#1 Town to Live Well” by Forbes: Data came from ZoomProspector.com, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in corporate relocation. It evaluated areas of the country with less than 100,000 people and named Boulder as number one town. read more here
Pending Home Sales Increase Nearly 7 Percent: The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in April, rose 6.7 percent to 90.3 from a reading of 84.6 in March, and is 3.2 percent above April 2008 when it was 87.5.Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says buyers are responding to very favorable market conditions. “Housing affordability conditions have been at historic highs, but now the $8,000 first-time buyer tax credit is beginning to impact the market,” he says. “Since first-time buyers must finalize their purchase by November 30 to get the credit, we expect greater activity in the months ahead, and that should spark more sales by repeat buyers.” read more here

Homes for Sale, Tornado not Included!
Jun 8th 09
This is a really cool photo taken yesterday June 7th, 2009 in the Saddle Rock neighborhood in Aurora, Colorado. My wife’s co-worker or his neighbor took this shot and I believe this is his house in the foreground. Pretty scary huh? The news reported several tornadoes in the area and I did get a decent photo of one myself out on the plains east of town but my shot wasn’t nearly as good as this one.
This is REAL and I love the photo. If you have a super cool photo you would like to see here send it to me and I will get it online.
