Girls Time

I picked up the girls from Walsh since it was mid-week. Spent the night visiting with Phyllis and then headed for the springs. My initial idea was to do something fun on the way home but it seemed to take forever to get there. We did stop in Pueblo to see the river walk I had heard about but it didn't end up meeting our expectations so we left pretty fast. By the time we got to the springs it was about 5pm and we decided to just spend the night which was of course fun in and of itself since we would be in a hotel.

The girls and I had a nice dinner together and then they spent the rest of their time in the hot tub and pool.

On Thursday morning we headed to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Zeb and I took Keara there when she was a baby but that was 12 years ago now. The zoo is built on a mountain which just makes it unique.  We fed giraffes, took a tram ride up the mountain, and had great fun. It isn't the cheapest place in the world so we left to have lunch elsewhere. 

We ended up having a "plp". That is a new acronym we coined which stands for parking lot picnic. We each wanted something different so well grabbed our lunches and met in the sparking lot where we had lunch under a tree sitting on an electrical box. It was fun and we liked our new name.

We headed up to Seven Falls after lunch which was a new attraction for everyone.  I loved it!! We walked up the to the top of the falls which was 224 steps and no small feat but it was beautiful. Up at the top there are some hiking trails that were just beautiful and I loved walking Round. The girls were. Little nervous as clouds rolled in but they enjoyed it
as well. 

Had some ice cream and decide to beat the traffic home. Our friend Sheryl texted to join them at the pool so we did.  

It was a long but very fun day.  I LOVED spending time my girls.
