Majestic Mountain Adventure

Way back in June we went on a road trip to Colorado. We were going to head east and we had to change plans and so we went west instead. So on a Wednesday morning we loaded up and headed out with my mom, Jalen, Nora and Stella! What a trip it was. My mom and I shared driving responsibilities and believe it or not we ran out of gas!!! Oh boy was mom mad at me for pushing her to go further. We were doing so good and the kids were being so good and I said we could make it and we didn't. I totally thought she was joking when the car started to die and man did it die! Thank goodness that mom has AAA! We were a little over a mile from the closest gas station too! It was a 45 min. of sweat added to our trip, but we got through it! We learned a lot about each other as well during that time.

We made it to Uncle Pat and Aunt Mary's around 7:30ish that evening and Uncle Pat had dinner all ready for us! We had such a great time. We went to Hammonds Candy Factory the next day and had the chance to taste some sweets. The next day we headed to Colorado Springs for a tour of Garden of the Gods and a trip up Pikes Peak with Matt! Nora even pet a chipmunk :) We went for a walk in downtown Manitou Springs and had dinner with Matt before heading back to Denver. The next day in Denver Molly met up with us and we took the girls and Jalen to a water park for the day and then came back to enjoy dinner one last evening.

Overall it was a great trip and a lot of fun. One we will not soon forget! So glad that the kiddos are all good travelers and we can make trips like this. I hope to do this at least once a summer so we can visit family and they can see everyone!
