Trip to Colorado- Day 1 (Colorado Springs)

So, the day after I lost my job, our family took a trip to Colorado. My parents came along too, which was awesome. Todd was in a wedding, so they watched the kiddos for us when we went to the rehearsal dinner and also the wedding. When we arrived on Wednesday, we went to Colorado Springs and did the Royal Gorge, Incline Railroad, and tried going to Seven Falls. It was such a rainy and windy day that they closed Seven Falls down, but we were still able to see some of the waterfalls.





We took so many pictures, so I'll try to condense and put them in slide shows for you to view.



I was so nervous on the bridge since it was so high up and it was very windy. It was so beautiful though and definately worth seeing.

We also decided to go on the incline railroad even though it was sprinkling out. Dylan wanted to be in the same car as my parents, so we said that sounds like a good idea. We also noticed that there were no bathrooms down there, so we made sure to ask him if he had to go and he said uh no... so we said ok. Well, when we got down there, he had to go, so what were we to do????



You got it... we found a discrete place for him to go. Todd said, now don't tell anyone. Well, as soon as he was done he announced it to everyone he went potty. It was embarrassing, but pretty funny too.



We had to of course have a funnel cake and then ahhhh it was nap time





Dylan's love for trains






This just sums it up that we are all kids at heart



On the way out, we had to get a group picture too... Of course, Dylan didn't want to cooperate, so we have him in the background. Oh well, you just have to love the personality of a 3 1/2 year old.




After we left the Royal Gorge we drove to Seven Falls before stopping at my aunt Ritas for the night. Both kiddos slept on thet way. I have to admit, I did too.




Seven Falls:



We had to stop and see the bridges and waterfalls that weren't closed down. So cool. Next time we are there, I would love to see all seven of them.



When we got to my aunt Ritas she had dinner all ready and we had yummy Mexican night. We had fajitas, tacos, and margaritas... Oh soooo yummy
