Riding the train to view Royal Gorge and the highest suspension bridge that crosses it.


The Highest, The longest, The biggest

After Buckskin Joe's and the train we went across the bridge that goes over Royal Gorge. To our surprise we found that not only could you go over the bridge but they had a mini Disney Land set up at the gorge. We rode a vertical train that takes you to the bottom of the gorge and back up, a huge swing that swings you out over the gorge (we opted out of that one), a petting zoo, burro rides, a western town, herds of animals to see (the white buffalo, so cool), live music, a mary-go-round, lots of food, 1 of 3 water clocks in the world, the highest suspension bridge in the world, the longest single span tram (it is the picture of the little red tram car in the middle of gorge), and after we drove to the biggest rocking chair in the world! :-) It was a full time of fun!!! and many world records achieved by our family :-) Ha Ha, the chair was our greatest achievement.








Garden of the Gods

This was our last stop for the day. Garden of the Gods, located in Colorado Springs. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. It was so beautiful and amazing the way that the rocks just jet out of the ground. The kids just loved it, Henry even did a little rock climbing. See if you can spot the lion in the pictures of the rocks. It is pretty obvious but still cool to find.




Loopy Tired Children


By the end of the day the kids had had it. They were still so good and oh so funny!!!! It was a long day for them! 4:30 am to 8:00 pm. Exhausting!!!!

Blast from the Past




I came across these disney cartoons with Henry today and oh my, oh my I remembered watching them when I was little with my sisters. We video taped from the tv "On vacation with Mickey Mouse". I remembering watching it over and over. It is not out on dvd but I found almost all of the clips on youtube. I love this cartoon so much and wanted to share. Candice and McCall, get ready to die.......... :-)

Wall-e and Eve the monkeys




My mom came in town for a couple of days just to play and have fun. While she was here we made these......."monkey doodles" and as you can see the kids love them. Henry named his Wall-e and Jetta's Eve. Jetta did not have much of a say but I don't think she cares. Henry likes to have them dance together and play and do just about everything he is doing. Thank you mom for making these and for coming out to have fun with us!!!!!
