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 then saw people climbing on the rocks… well it is hard to tell in this shot..
They are the little blue dots up there…
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…
He saw this dinosaur when we got to Florence… and it had lights on it..
Late we all headed back to Ryan and Brookes house and They decided to take Stanley to the Zoo for the lights…
It was the Electric Safari trip…
I know it is hard to tell but Brooke had him at the Christmas Tree..
and he got up close and personal with a Giraffe…
She tried to fee him to the electric lion but it must not have been hungry?
here he was looking at the Hippo…
after all this excitement he came home and went to bed… so ends the day for Flat Stanley…
