We went to Colorado Springs, Co to visit my brother Seth and his daughter Maddy. Seth is in the Special Forces and will be leaving for Iraq around the 9th of July so we decided to pack up the family and go. My grandparents drove to Idaho from ND and then rode with us to Colorado. It was a fun trip, a little noisy at times with my darlings but fun. My mom and Sam also rode with us and my dad flew in.
We got the luck of the draw at our hotel they put Karl and I in a room with a sliding glass door that had a rock garden for the kids to play on and the pool right there. It was so nice. The kids ate on the patio everyday and were able to run and play and we could see them and not have to worry about traffic.
We did some sight seeing and hit a few local fun spots. It was so much fun and soooo pretty there. I was amazed. I have been thinking about moving there since the moment we arrived. We went to a place called Santa's workshop. It is a little "village" in the mountains. They have rides, food, shows...etc. It was super cute and fun. The kids had a great time. When we were on our way back to the hotel a tornado warning came over the radio. SCARY! And if you know Karl you know what he was thinking. The worst! Silly guy. He actually held it together pretty good. I was suprised. So we hunkered down in our hotel room watching the news; waiting for the news that we needed to take cover. It never came but we did hear that a funnel cloud had touched down across the street from Santa's workshop just after we left. Wierd.
Seth took us to see Bobby Brown's Bail Bonds. Lol!!!! Karl and I are such dorks! We love to watch Dog the Bounty Hunter. Bobby Brown is a guy that Dog comes to help out in Colorado. We were going to get out and take a picture in front of it but Hudson was screaming so we settled for a drive by and go figure I didn't even think of it 'till now but I should of snapped a pic of the building. DUH!
We had lots of fun and are so happy we were able to have this time with our family. Especially Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for everything Grandma and Grandpa!! We love you!
