Happy Holidays

The rest of the October Colorado Springs trip which included a visit to the Focus on the Family center, the cograil ride up Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and the Air Force Academy. The weather was great the first two days we were there, but very cold on the day we left.

Focus on the Family:
Pike's Peak Cog Railway:

We couldn't go all the way to the top because the rail was covered in snow! Still had some amazing views.


Made a snowman on our stop halfway down.

Getting water from the springs at Manitoba Springs. It was awful! Found out that this was the worst one of the ten after the fact.
Garden of the Gods - I hadn't been for years. It was different from what I remembered, but still awesome.


On our way back to the hotel, we saw many deer. They were all in the suburbs!! Including these two bucks fighting in someone's back yard. We saw more wildlife in the suburbs than we did anywhere else.
Air Force Academy - it was freezing!!!

Yay! So glad we were able to see the rest of your vacation pics! Those sights look very familiar to Mike and I. :)
