COLORADO SPRINGS

On Wednesday, July 23, we drove down to Colorado Springs to spend the night and some much needed time with Sheila and her beautiful family, Grace, 5; Hannah, 3; and Grant who just turned 2 (and Greg got to join us for dinner at On the Border--Daniel was able to bring a smile to his face, with his knowledge of Fukudome--he is a Cubs fan--YEAH!). It was so nice to just play in their backyard and the kids watched a movie while the Mommies had some girl-time. Then on Thursday, we went to the Cheyenne Zoo. It is beautifully set in the mountains that overlook Colorado Springs...such great views (and of course it's so enjoyable to push a double stroller, loaded with snacks and tired children, up those hills--great workout!). Our favorite things were to feed the giraffes and pet the baby walloby (a smaller version of a kangaroo). We also enjoyed some close up views of bears and getting wet in the play area. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed our time there...THANK YOU SHEILA...you were a refreshing blessing to me and my kids!
