A few weeks ago, Simon and I got to go visit Danielle and Bryan in their new house in Colorado. It was so much fun!
While I was there, we visited the Garden of the Gods. It was so gorgeous.
I forgot to take Simon’s stroller and he was not about to let anyone hold him… although Danielle tried.
He really loved walking, and falling, and climbing around on his own.
He got pretty scratched up, but he was so much happier getting scratched up than being held.
While we were hiking around, we heard some bagpipes so we hiked up and watched this guy play for a little while. Here are Danielle and Ivy watching. I think they’re pretty cute.
After our excursion we headed to a Jerusalem Café for falafels and ice cream. Falafels weren’t quite like I remembered, but the hummus was delish!
We also went to Pike’s Peak while I was there, which was also breath taking… no seriously… it was so high up, it was a little hard to breathe. On the way up we stopped at this pretty lake.
It was so nice to be in the mountains again. Simon, again had a lot of fun not being confined to a stroller.
As we headed up to Pikes Peak, it reminded us of going on a roller coaster where you can’t see the track in front of you any more. You just have to trust that it’s there. Don’t let that first picture below fool you; there weren’t many guard rails on the way up.
When we got to the top, it was so cold. Thankfully, Bryan packed coats for us all. It even snowed a little bit as we were getting back into the car to leave.
Thanks for the fun! And for the crazy adventure when it was time to leave.
