Friday July 16 Garden of the Gods

Friday morning we got up and drove out to Garden of the Gods. It was a hot, but beautiful day. The rock formations were amazing.











We saw quite a few people rock climbing while we were there. If you look closely, you can see some climbing up this rock.


Our family plus one. Erick Ashe


Enjoying the little bit of shade

More rock climbers...look closely.




In the first area we visited, there was a great rock just the right size for the kids to climb.

William


Jacob




Spencer










Even the little guys wanted to get on top.
Tanner


There were also some nice tight places to climb through.


William, Craig, and Aunt Sheri












John, Kevin, and Eliza taking a break. Bryce is there also. He really did not enjoy Garden of the God. It was just too hot and boring for him.


This is the place at the end of the scenic drive where you can get out and climb on the rocks. We decided that we had already climbed enough and so we didn't stop.


Instead we went to the park for lunch.




Cute little piggies...Lauren and Spencer


Annalise loved exploring


and swinging with Aunt Sherri


Then we went back and had naps and of course more swimming before dinner in the pavilion.


William and John


Spencer




nice dive William


Emma and Spencer


Mom prepared some smores using the sun instead of fire for our dessert/treat on our last night in Colorado.


Pizza is always a hit!








John and the boys played some horseshoes before heading in for the night.




Craig gave everyone a run for their money.

I have been to the Garden of the Gods. It was years ago while visiting a friend of mine. We just did the scenic drive, but it was still neat.
