The FAMOUS Cheyanne Rodeo

Hanging out with good friends!

While in Denver I got to see a friend I haven't seen

in years.  We used to know each other in Seattle and

we decided to get together and let our girls play while

we got caught up. We sat and talked and the girls had

a blast at a little place called Fun City.  It was so nice

to chat and enjoy some great company.

 The same week I also got to hang out with one of

my friends from Hawaii.  She and her family moved

to Colorado Springs this summer and we hung out.

It was strange not being in Hawaii together but still

had a great day.

A weekend trip to Glennwood Springs

We spent the weekend in Glennwood Springs.  It was

a nice drive and the weekend turned out to be a blast.

We went to this place called Glennwood Caverns and

saw a gorgeous cave.  It was a fun hike into the mountain

and the cave was amazing.  The girls really enjoyed

the cool caverns and fairy formations.  It was originally

called the fairy caves because there were formations

on the walls that looked like floating fairies.  At the top

of the mountain they also had rides and activities. We dug

up some fossils and watched others scream from the side

of the cliff ride.  We didn't actually do it though.

Totally inappropriate I know...but the tour guy called

this natural occurring formation in the cavern,

"The Oscar Meyer formation".  Funny right?

 We camped out there overnight and it was right next

to a little stream.  The girls just loved playing in the water.

 The next morning we went to the famous Glennwood

Springs natural hot springs.  The pool was enormous and

the water is so hot that they have to pump in cold water

just to make it cool enough to swim in.  It was lukewarm

and not really refreshing.  It was a fun day though.  It

was a little like a water park.  They had slides and a

diving board.  The girls could have stayed all day, they

are fish after all.  It was a pretty amazing place to visit.

We all had an enjoyable time there.

 Our drive home I had to take a picture.  The canyons

were just mesmerizing to look at.

 The traffic coming home was horrendous and it

literally took us two hours to go about twenty miles.

NOT JOKING!  We stopped at the first town we could

and got some dinner.  There was a great (big) pizza

restaurant called Beau Jo's.  Such a fun atmosphere

and good food too.  We finally got home exhausted

and giddy from the super fun weekend.
