Colorado Vacation Day 7 - Wednesday

4th of July

Garden of the Gods, Whole Foods, and Light show!

Every morning Phyllis had a delicious breakfast in her dining room for us.  I loved getting to eat together in the dining room every morning as a family.  Here is a picture of Alex at breakfast on his first 4th of July!


The kids in their 4th of July outfits

The beautiful view.  We actually pulled over on teh side of the road for this picture, and I'm so glad we did.  Why?  Because the first time we pulled over we realized we didn't have a camera! haha  We had to turn around and get it.  If we wouldn't have pulled over, we never would have realized that we forgot the camera at home and would have made it all the way to The Garden of the Gods and had to turn around, that would have been so sad!

We made it!  Garden of the Gods entrance photo op. 

Isn't this a neat picture?


The balancing rock.  I have been to this rock several times.  It's neat every time to go back.  This was of course my first time to take my kids.  We loved coming and letting the kids climb all over the rocks.  They had a lot of fun.











The TIRED and HOT crew after our hike.  This story is better in person, but imagine a few wrong turns, a double stroller, 2 small kids, a double stroller, and 100 plus heat - and there's your story.  Mike was laughing at us and had to take a picture.

Whole Foods!

A trip to Aunt Phyllis's house is not complete without a trip to whole foods. We have a lot of fun in this store and always find so much we like.  Here is Mike and Max at the Olive bar - talked about much this trip.  We had fun sampling the foods and even grabbed lunch there - since our Chipolte was taking a 4th of July vacation.



Well obviously with the huge wildfire in Colorado - fireworks were a no go - not just a burn ban - but absolutely no fireworks anywhere close aloud....so we decided to put on a
'light show"  I had some extra glow necklaces and glow balls and we made a night out of it.  It was fun, and gave us something to joke about all night -and the boys loved it.




Hope everyone has as Happy of a 4th of July as we did!!!
