What's cool about coming to Colorado is they got all these little tiny cute towns
They're kind of older
And just have lots of personality-- just like you lots of personality, personality!
Oh, look at that cute puppy!
He's Boris the pug
What are ya doin there, buddy?
He says, wait, mom has food
He says, that's what I want
No food?
*Music*
There was a huge wind event out in the Salt Lake City area
That blew the roller coaster over on top of the carousel kind of smashed it up. Oh wow
It was no longer an amusement ride then. The governor of the state of Utah gave the carousel to state school
for handicapped adults and kids
called Fairyland Park
So while it was there and it was there for about 30 years. It was no longer a public amusement ride
It was just there for their use. The governor decided that he was going to sell the carousels
So he did, he sold it to a collector
Who took all the animals off and had a huge auction. He just used it to sell the animals. That's it
Took them all off took them all to New York City and sold them. Basically what you see in that photo there
He took that and turned it into
This in 26 years. Wow. So who actually carved all this? he did it all--Scott. He carved them all. Yeah, yeah
Oh, wow. So is that how it got brought here or--yeah--he brought it here brought it here except for the paintings,
The paintings were never part of the original machine either, but they were from this era
They were on a carousel from 1910. Scott knew the families so they donated these paintings
He had them restored and incorporated and this big round thing on the outside is called a rounding board, a fair amount of work here. Oh, it sure looks like it
*Music*
All right, which one you going on, April?
I was just asking you that. Which one are you?
I want to be...
I gonna be an ostrich. What you doing, April?
I'm crocheting a scarf, can you tell? For real?!? It looks like you're riding an old-fashioned carousel. I sure am
On an ostrich
What am I on, I'm on a lamb--sheep
I would kick your ass
For what? because how fast an ostrich goes
We would have long-distance stuff
Wheeeeeeee!!
Yoohoooo!
*Laughter*
You never know what kind of goofy adventure we're gonna get in. What? I said, you never know
What kind of goofy adventure we're gonna get in--Yep
Couple of big kids
Yep. I wanted to go again. You can't go again. You have to pay more money
Pay two dollars for me to go again, Wayne!
I wanna go again, Wayne!
*Music*
Welcome to my puppet adventure. This is crazy wolf. It's trying to eat me--aaaah!
*Laughter*
*Music*
We're in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Yep, which is very confusing to me
Right. So anyway--so anyway--if you're on I-70 and you're heading to or from Denver
We're actually heading to Denver from Salt Lake City right now
Gonna go hit one of my favorite pizza places in the country. It's called Beau Jo's. It's in a little town called Idaho Springs
They sell pizza by the pound and it's different because it's at such high altitude it actually makes the crust taste different
No words of wisdom--any compliments you want to pay April?
Oh, you're so beautiful April, it's your birthday. I can't even believe that I'm so lucky to be with you
*Laughter*
Did I sound convincing? yes! I don't think so
*Laughter*
I'll pretend, I'll pretend that you did
Show us what we got, April. Pizzaaaa! Pizza, pizza, pizza! It's the mountain crust
Oh, yeah. That looks good
So, that's the Italian? Lil' Italy... lil' Italy
And you got the
Burger and sausage or the sausage combo. It's basically their supreme
Here we are eating pizza again
I know...Always eatin' pizza
But see,
Look how thick this crust is
Oh yeah
Oh I'm not even in it
You just want to sit close to me, don't ya?
That's exactly why I moved closer to you
I like the creamy garlic sauce instead of the red sauce, yeah
Yeah
It's really good
I like the roasted olive oil sauce
I've never had pizza crust with honey before
The crust is more like bread
It's not like traditional pizza crust
I just like it 'cause it's different
Yeah. Oh, so this was the medium two pound pizza
I remember one of the times I came in here with a bunch of buddies on a ski trip,
we ordered like
Something stupid. It was like a 10-pound pizza or something. What?!
It was ridiculous
We didn't even come close to finishing it
Oh my gosh!
What's the altitude here? High
All of Colorado's high. In more ways than one
*Music*
So welcome to our little stick house in the mountains, this will be your room
Great
There's a chair, there's a little bit of space in the closet
There's a map of the park. We're in the middle of 19,000 acres State Park called Golden Gate Canyon
So we can advise you on trails and places to go to hike
There's some information about the wildlife
Most of our guests prefer to use this bathroom and I'll show you why. Okay, this is why
Oh wow. This is a Swedish steam room. Their youngest son's birthday is today
As is mine
Today's your birthday?
She tries to plug that birthday in any chance she can get--Thank you
That gives us an excuse to drink
She says this is her birthday month
April's getting a drum lesson from our Airbnb host. All right, so you're right
It's gonna be 1, 2
And then the other hand, 3
1, 2, 3
Then you're gonna do the kick drum along with this hand, so do the kick drum with me...
