Colorado Trip

Our family along with Luke's mother and step-dad took a trip out to Colorado. Keith's, step-dad, family has a house out there and we went for a long weekend. The main purpose of this trip was for the men to do some fishing. Us ladies filled our time with other things!!!!

On Friday mom, the kids, myself, Cori and Clarissia went down to Cripple Creek to walk around. Cooper wanted his picture taken with every statue we saw.


They were getting ready for a festival that started that night and these guys were making this "big sand castle" (what Cooper said) and it really got his attention.


They have train rides that you can take threw the mountains. We didn't take the trip b/c of time, but Cooper wanted his picture taken with "Thomas".


Some group was doing a feed the mules/donkey fundraiser. For $1 you got a zip lock bag of food and it lasted forever. Both of the kids and grandma had a good time feeding them.



Friday afternoon, Joshua broke away from the men so that we could take the kids to The North Pole. This is a child friendly amusement park at the base of Pikes Peak. Cooper had a great time and Maylea was even able to ride a few with her big brother.
Cooper in line for his first ride all by himself.




Cooper getting ready for his 1st roller coaster ride. Mommy asked if she could ride with him and he said, "no mommy, I am a big boy. I want to go by myself." He loved it!!!

We took a short break from the rides to feed the "baby deer". Maylea wanted nothing to do with them. I found this odd that she enjoyed feeding the donkeys, but not the deer....strange. You can see in a few of the pictures that she is pulling away (we are trying to force her hand).

Mommy snapped a picture of the girls while waiting for the boys to get off a ride.
Before we left we stopped for a little treat. I thought for sure Cooper was going to fall asleep while sitting on the park bench holding his icecream cone. We timed the day perfectly. Just as we were heading to the van it started to rain and then it POURED!!! We got out of there just in time.
