Colorado Springs and Pike's Peak

On Sunday afternoon we went to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. It's a free public park that is beautiful. There was thunder and lightening off in the distance-we got quite a show later that night. But in the evening it just made it very pretty. Our view from our hotel. You could see Pike's Peak, but I never caught it when the clouds weren't over it.
At Garden of the Gods.




Lily walked through this gap in the rocks. Robby had to help pull her through.


It started raining, just enough to make it fun!
Lance loves his bumbo chair and we were glad we had it with us!

On the train up to Pike's Peak on Monday it rained quite hard. Pike's peak is the highest most visited peak in North America. It's also what inspired the song America the Beautiful.



It's pretty cold at the top, and you get pretty light headed!

On our way back down on the train.

That's cool that the gondola was free! I haven't been to Breckenridge...how fun!
