Today we decided to take a family trip down to Garden of the Gods (by Colorado Springs and Pike’s Peak).  Brittany had to work so she wasn’t able to come with us.  We took a picnic lunch down there and really enjoyed ourselves.  It was pretty busy, so we had to eat our picnic in one of the parking lots by the van.  We had a laugh about it but it was still fun!

We then went hiking all over the area, looking at the beautiful rock formations and enjoying the wonderful afternoon!

There were a lot of people rock climbing down here today as well.  Some of the places that they were hiking looked pretty scary…

What a great time we had today!  We love going places like this as a family (well, at least most of the time).  We enjoy being outdoors and being in nature.  We’re looking forward to many more experiences like that!
