Pikes Peak

Pikes Peak is a must!! You MUST see it.  If you are heading to Colorado any time soon take the 19 mile drive up to the top of Pikes Peak.  It's so worth the time.  The drive up can be a little scary but you will be glad you went.  Pikes Peak is 14,111 feet high.  Take a look at our pics to see how amazing the view from way up there is.  We saw some wildlife while on the Mountain. See if you can spot the two animals that we spotted!

Can you spot the rainbow??

See the winding road that we traveled?

By the way...take a jacket.... it was cold up there!!!

One of the must things to do while way up there is eat Pikes Peak fresh made donuts.  Of course Bryson loved that!! Donut lover!!

More winding road!

It's a horse, it's a donkey, oh no it's a moose sitting with Heston!

Best time to travel up, right before sunset.  Breathtaking views!

Bob and Sheryl fly out !!!

Our Friends, Sheryl and Bob Mayo, fly from Georgia out here to Denver.  We picked them up at the Denver Airport for a week of fun!!  We had decided to take a camping trip while they were here, this way to could squeeze in all our tourist stops.

Bryson in the airport.

Heston waiting to pick them up!  We thought it would be cool to make their own sign.

Here they are!!! Bob and Sheryl finally made it to Denver!!

Here we took them to one of the boys favorite Denver Restaurant, Casa Bonita.

We also to Bob and Sheryl  to see the Denver Broncos practice.  But needless to say the Broncos canceled the practice, which was weird cause we could see them practicing through the trees???

Garden of the Gods. 

 In Colorado Springs there is a beautiful natural park called Garden of the Gods.  It is a national park with cool rock formations.   Some of the rocks are just amazing.

While in Colorado Springs we visited Focus on the Family.  This is one of the boys favorite spots here in Colorado.  Bob, Bryson and Heston made an Adventure in Odyssey episode.  Here are pictures of them in the recording studio. 

Check out my next blog where we take Bob and Sheryl  to the top of Pikes Peak.
