Weather and Parade of Homes

Here in Colorado one of our motto's is, "If you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes, it will change or just change your altitude a couple of thousand feet." Well the last two days have brought unusual weather conditions. Kaitlyn needed to view 3 Parade of Homes, homes for her Architecture class. So we headed off Saturday with camera in hand and witnessed some interesting cloud formations. This group dropped a tornado just west of us on the other side of the foothillls. Sunday another group of clouds dropped 4 more tornadoes just north of us. I wonder if this is a precursor to what kind of interesting weather we can expect this winter?

After touring the first home Kaitlyn said that you could faintly hear the sirens going off. So we quickly headed off to the next home, trying to get the 3 done before the rain/hail hit. We got in 2 houses and then had to give up on the 3rd she had picked to see. Just couldn't find the house.

This is the first home that Kaitlyn wanted to see. Its the Walt Disney "Mickey Mouse" house.

$1.7 million
The house was decorated with replica's of Walt Disney's furniture, throughout. Also each room had a "Mickey" head somewhere as a sort of nightlight as you can see in the next picture.
