We are ready to go...
Rest stop for lunch...we found a great rest area where we stopped for lunch the first day.
This was the only drawback, but thankfully we saw no rattlesnakes.
Awesome playground!
Lunch
We chose hotels with indoor pools which worked out perfectly.
We all enjoyed the hot tubs!
Eating dinner in Colorado Springs in our hotel room
And swimming in the pool in Colorado Springs.
The kids had some outside time while we packed the car at the Radisson hotel.
They took turns running and jumping for the camara...so fun!
LOVE these pics!!!
We visited Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs...the kids had a blast! It was the perfect place for them to have a fun play day, especially after two days sitting in the car.
D is walking through the wardrobe into Narnia and below he and I are in front of Aslan. Last year we read the whole Narnia series so we enjoyed this part of Focus on the Family.
There was also a three story slide that the big kids did over and over again!
And puppets....
We finally made it to the cousins and enjoyed some cousin time at their house in Denver.
Then it was off to the mountians! Wow!! God is totally amazing and His creation is astounding. We so enjoyed the beauty of the mountains!
SNOW!!!
We splurged and got the kids snow boots, which turned out to be a huge blessing.
E making a snow angel.
Snow fights.
Our yummy turkey!
Thanksgiving!!
This was the reading on the car when we left...it was cold!!!
Another great rest area on our way home!
We had a great trip!!!

What amazing pictures! I love the jumping ones. Isn't Focus on the Family great? I was telling Jerry that we should take the kids there when we are in Colorado after Christmas. Hey, can we borrow some of your snow boots when we go to CO after Christmas?
I love all the pics from your trip... makes me want to get out there more than ever now!
Of course, I don't have family to visit with, as you did, but I'd love to visit the Focus on the Family headquarters and take the kids to see the Narnia things also.
And wow, 1 degrees when you left... brrrr!
So glad it was a great trip!
Johanna, you are welcome to borrow the books. I'm not so sure what your boys will think about pink, though!!
Karen, it was actually well below 0. I just didn't capture it on the camara! Yep...brrr! Gives cold a whole new meaning!
