Garden of the Gods

This was a really nice place to visit in Colorado Springs. We really enjoyed walking around (and climbing until we found out we weren't supposed to) and checking out all the natural rock formations. Beautiful place to visit.

Apparantly Sasquatch Lives In Colorado...

On the way down from Pike's Peak Zachariah started getting sick from such an abrupt change in elevation (probably shouldn't have gone so high the first day in Colorado). We HAD to stop for one quick picture of the warning sign (which I have never seen before). We did not see Sasquatch during our visit to the area, but took the warning seriously:).

Guy Loved the Hummer...

Here's his wonderful parking job at Pike's Peak (there really were no normal spots left and I don't think he was disappointed). The bottom picture shows the kids enjoying the snow. We weren't expecting to have snowball fights in June!

Pike's Peak - "Summer, 2008"

So after our move to Kansas City in June, we left 2 days later for an "adventure" out West. Here was the first main stop just outside Colorado Springs, Colorado. We drove to the top of Pike's Peak and yes Guy and I are wearing shorts with jackets and sweatshirts because it was quite cold.

Please Vote For My Picture!

To anyone who will be in the Kansas City area (and specifically at the Kansas City Zoo) during the month of October, please take a moment to check out the pictures on display for the Kansas City Zoo Photo Contest and vote for my picture! You can see it here... this cute little bird just stood on the fence post and posed for me. Grace and Zachariah were within arms reach of him.

Of course if you are at the zoo, you can see this guy in person. Not sure what kind of bird he is (other than big and cute), but he can be found in the Australia area at the zoo (Zachariah's favorite place:).
