Day Trip

So today we put in a full day of sightseeing. We started out at garden of the gods where we heard a ton of complaints. I forgot to bring the baby carrier so I ended up carrying sully through most of it. Mira always says, "that was fun!" At the end after spending the entire time acting like a fat out of shape 15 year old. 
There she is in the shade because she HAS to get out of the sun. 
A 3 smiling!!' 
The 6 of us....almost. Sully is playing in the dirt with his car. Nice. 
He loves dirt. 
I have one pic of me and the kids that I look better in but griff close his eyes. Of course. 
More dirt. 
It was truly very pretty. And HOT.
Boys! 
Then we headed to manitou springs to catch the train to pikes peak. 
Sully was pretty much a monster the entire 90 minute train ride to the top. 
Fighting sheep!! Awesome. 
The top was soooo cold. We had like 20 mins up there. We went to the lookout for 2, went to the bathroom for 10 and then there was a freezing rain. Oh well. After that long I had a headache and was dizzy anyway. 
And a long day means tired babies all around. 



I'm glad we did it but I don't know I would do it again. The summit was so packed. I was going to get them a snack or something but the lines were so long we'd have missed our train back down had we waited. The kids are wild tonight after so much sitting!!! On the way home we hit a pizza place that was "meh" and some ice cream for birthday treat!!! Here's to 32!
