Garden of the Gods

It was fun to have Amy and Jane come visit us mid-September.  Good thing they were here or we might not have gotten out and explored the area before winter hit.  We really didn’t know what to expect… but we headed to the mountains and found some great paved walking trails perfect for Jane in the stroller and some red rocks to climb on for the rest of the kids.  It turned out to be a beautiful day. { Too bad we had made a quick decision to cancel our Steamboat Springs weekend trip because of bad storms and rain the night before. } We had a great low key day, which we all needed, amidst a busy ‘move in’ season.  So fun to get out of the house and explore our new city… I’m sure we’ll be back many more times.  Company welcome!

We took our lunch to the base of the Siamese Twins and had a picnic and more fun exploring.
