A Boxing Day Stroll at the Broadmoor





Every year at Christmastime the chefs at the Broadmoor participate in a gingerbread house contest. This year's theme was fairy tales. Here are a few of the creations that we saw when we visited this grand hotel on the 26th.
Goldilocks and the three bears.....
Rapunzel
The princess and the pea
 
The three little pigs
We also encountered a very curious and tame squirrel who should have been hibernating for the winter. Judging by his plumpness I think he he was faring too well from tourists handouts to be holed up somewhere sleeping for three months! Sadly, we had nothing to feed him but a handful of snow. He was not impressed.
