The week school got out we took a trip to Colorado Springs. I was nervous about the 12 hour drive (especially with a 2 month old) but the kids were perfect in the car and we had the best time! I was amazed at how much there was to do there. We went to a Ghost Town museum, mined for gold, Rich and the boys went White Water Rafting, the Zoo, Santa's Workshop, Garden of the Gods, a huge nickel arcade, The Cave of the Winds, and just swimming and staying in a hotel is exciting for them! We loved the time together as a family and the kids ask to go back there almost daily. We LOVE Colorado- what a beautiful place!

We have used this backpack a ton! However, Tanner is on the brink of being a little too old for it! :)
It was so nice to have Rich at a zoo with us to carry the kids while I would just push a stroller!
A beautiful view with my 4 wild monkeys!
One of their favorite rides at Santa's Workshop. The amusement park was PERFECT for our kids ages- and Kennedy has no fear of crazy rides!
Now she's feeding the deer- she is an animal lover!
Telling Santa what they want for Christmas- something fun to do in June!
The Cave of the Winds- this was probably my favorite thing we did there. It was very interesting and Nate especially loved it!
A beautiful stream just off the main road- I can't imagine something like this in Texas!
Stick Races- Tanner loves a competition of any kind!
This sweet boy was a champ on the trip! He just went with the flow of things and never minded being carted around from place to place. We were pretty impressed that we could have a fun family vacation with no mishaps as a family of 6!
