Garden of the Gods

We visited the Garden of the Gods! This is another place I visted pre-Sean's Mission but it was super fun (and tiring, on my part) with kids!


First, to admire some rocks. I don't remember what was special about these rocks. They're not even very red.


I instructed them to make Kissy Faces to match the Kissing Camels formation (top of the rocks above Dash) but only one child complied.


So we embraced some more silly faces.


And some angry faces.


How about some sweet faces?


That's it.


Sweet enough.


Now, time to climb!


A perfect Grey-sized nook.


The kids were all very daring.


And they sure liked it.


So many nooks and crannies to probe.


It all made me very nervous.


And sometimes it made them nervous, too.


I generally stayed with Grey while Sean stayed with Liam and Dash, so he could scramble up after them when necessary. I'm... not so capable of scrambling right now.


Grey's missing because he's in my arms screaming about us making him leave the climbing area.


We had other rocks to see, after all.


Not to worry, more climbing areas were found.


And claimed.


Look, I was there!


Sweet bruddahs.


Now we were all starting to get a bit tired and hungry after a while. Sean tried to get one more round of photos. Grey complied by showing off a rock.


Dash gave a little 'tude.


And Liam just wasn't having it.


Time to go- thanks for the fun, red rocks!
