Garden of the Gods

Sorry that I have not made any entries lately - missed many thankful Thursdays...Anyway, today was another beautiful Colorado day and I am thankful for my family and His beautiful creation! My wonderful husband decided to stay here this weekend so that we could try and have some family fun. We've been enjoying watching March Madness Basketball games. Everyone in our family (except Catherine) filled out a bracket - we have a little competition to see who gets the most points from the bracket, then that family member gets to pick where we go out to eat for a celebration. Today was a beautiful day so we decided to take a picnic and go to Garden of the Gods. It was gorgeous and we had so much fun getting dirty digging in dirt with sticks and climbing dirt and rocks (some in a couple of steep places) to get higher and enjoy the views! One of the first rocks we saw was this on that is called "Kissing Camels" - look close on the top and you can make that out!

Here is everyone standing next to one of the large rocks.
Catherine loves dogs and there were some very nice friendly dogs that walked by us - Catherine was showing the dog her sunglasses and then she thought the dog might like to try them on, so the next two are Catherine's encounter with the dog and sunglasses:

You can't really tell from this picture, but we all climbed up pretty high through some steep places and are sitting on the top of a rock with big drop-offs all around. It was very fun, then we needed to leave for a bathroom break, so we decided it was time to head home. Our whole family enjoyed this beautiful trip!
