Well can you believe this was the first time that we as a family have visited Colorado and it was not in the winter and it did not snow? We had a blast!!! It was so nice and cool and it rained every afternoon. We just loved it.
This trip also was great because Alyssa, Jared and family came up from Arizona. This was a treat for Brody, see he has never seen Alyssa and her family. Between Janette’s girls and Alyssa’s girls, Brody had it made. He just loved having all of his cousins taking care of him and loving him. He was truly spoiled. He was a handful when we got back home.
We were able to find very cheap plane tickets to Denver and this was Brody’s first flight. We were a little afraid that he might scream the whole flight. But luckily he did not he slept the whole way there and most of the way back. Such a good boy.
While in CO it was just casual. We did not want to get overly exhausted it was our vacation and we wanted to have fun and not over book ourselves. We did have a fun trip to the zoo. We can’t miss that.
In these pictures there are some awesome views from where the zoo sits on the mountain down into Colorado Spring. There is one of downtown and one of the Broadmoor Hotel.
We also had fun going to the Flying W Ranch. This is a working ranch that they have made into a country town with general stores, old schools, and more. They also had Native Americans showing us different dances here is one of the top hoop dancers in the nation. And you get a real chuck wagon meal. With real live cowboy entertainment. The atmosphere is great. Just fun family times. 
We also had fun going to the Rock Ledge Ranch. It was fun to see how People lived and worked in past times.
Well the girls got to help chop wood with the homesteaders. The girls also go to help make fresh lemonade We got to see how the family lived from one time in their lives to the next. It was lots of fun for all.
Finally, Alyssa’s oldest girls had fun teaching Mike and their other cousins how to “skin the cat”
It was just fun times being together! Wish all of my siblings could have been there.
