Flat Stanley and Family

Well yesterday was a busy day, although it started out pretty slow.  Some of us just couldn’t get things moving at the right time.  We finally got people around and loaded up to head south to visit more family for the day. 

Our first piece of business was to take Flat Stanley (a school project thing for Grandson #1) out and show him some of the sights in Colorado Springs.  Due to our late start we only made it to the Garden of the Gods drive through…

Here he was going to stop at the visitor center but he got up too late…so he went on in to see the rocks…

Here we all got out to get some pictures… he wanted to walk the trail but we reminded him he slept in and would have to go another day.

He figured he could fit into some of these holes in the rocks ?

He thought they were either very brave or really stupid?

He wondered why this rock was still upright?  It has really good balance…

looking back it was not as tipped as it looked going by but still?

He saw this statue on the way south… about the old gold miners..

We then had to hurry on to Florence,Co as we were expected to be there by noon…
