Tiny Town & Red Rocks

For years we have been wanting to go to Tiny Town but every time we just can’t fit it in. Again I almost cancelled it, but Jared really wanted to take the kids.It is really a cute place you have to see at least once but no more.

It was built by a very loving dad who started it for his daughter who didn’t have any friends because they lived way up in the mountains. He started building her these tiny houses so she would have something to play with. They were very wealthy so they also hired people to make her tiny places. They have everything here…  gas station, cleaners, hotels, saloon, school house, newspaper office etc. It is truly a Tiny Town.

The kids really had fun going inside the little buildings, but they spent most of their time at the playground.
