Fall Break

Daniel's Park

Garden of the Gods

 

We had our first visitors from Washington!  During fall break and we were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Granger, and cousin Charlie Allen come down and spend 5 days with us.  We loved every minute of it!

                                                                                             Joel was way excited because Charlie was here...finally! While they were together:  bike to the park, swim at the Rec. Center, play wii, biked around the neighborhood, play crazy boy games at the park until dark, hiked through huge rocks, climbed up steep sides of mountains, built Bionicles.  They were sufficiently busy to get even Charlie to go to bed by 10pm and sleep in until 8am!  That is saying something...     Charlie made a great comment...It is so lucky that the weather is good during your fall break AND we are here too!  Well Charlie, the sun is out nearly every day, but we did have a great week of weather...64 degrees feels more like 74 degrees in the fall.

Rock Canyon State Park, not far from Castle Rock, was a small, beautiful little valley with some great hikes.  We had an early dinner and let the kids loose.  Sean, G & G Granger and I went to see if we could actually get to some caves we saw in the cliff.  Here is documentation that they did do the hike and they made it about 3/4 of the way up.   

                                                     




On the way up to Pikes Peak



Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods and the top of Pikes Peak were some highlights of the trip.





 G Granger was a little white knuckled on that drive, and the winds were 25 mph and VERY cold up there.  But a stunning view, of course.

Thank you for coming!! We love you!
