We were able to spend our Saturday in Colorado with friends. We met a bunch of friends at the park for a play date. The girls were so excited to meet baby Maisie! I think she liked all of the attention, too!
The park has been recently renovated and is just gorgeous! The view of Pikes Peak is amazing!
Monsoon season in Colorado was just starting so when the afternoon storms started, we headed to McDonald's for lunch and to let the kids continue playing. That afternoon were able to meet an old friend at the yogurt shop, too!
We were scheduled to leave early Sunday morning, but the truck was having issues. The diesel mechanics in the area were not going to be able to get to the truck until the following Wednesday morning, so we were able to sneak in a few more days in the mountains. We were able to visit the church we attended and saw more old friends. A Pearl Harbor survivor spoke at the service and it was so neat to hear his story and how his faith grew through the whole ordeal.
That afternoon we went rock climbing in the Garden of the Gods with the Tabor Family.
The Tabor Family were our neighbors in Woodland Park for a little while and became sweet friends!
They live very close to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs now and really love rock climbing. Gabe was so excited to climb real rocks and Chad was such a patient and calm teacher!
Gabe said that rock climbing was his favorite part of the whole trip.
Mig went up next. I was surprised that he wanted to go at all after he got so scared on Pikes Peak.
He went a little way up and then was ready to head down.
He did find a small rock to climb with out a harness and wanted me to make it look like he had gone to the top of the big rock, though.
Selah climbed in a skirt (with shorts underneath) in pure Selah style. Strong, but still so feminine. She climbed with instinct and moved pretty quickly up the rock.
She nearly made it to the top, but was exhausted! So she headed back down.
We then had a lovely dinner at the Tabor's house and so enjoyed spending time with them. We weren't planning on being in Colorado on Sunday, but it turned out to be such a blessing to be able to see friends we wouldn't have seen had the truck been in good enough shape to head home.
