our colorado trip. part four.

took millie back to one of our favorite places from her toddler years...
the last time millie & i were at whit's end for ice cream, i was days away from having caroline!
they LOVED the odyssey scavenger hunts... and asked to go back the next morning to do the other 2 colors/lists.
a drive up pikes peak... & then a favorite photo spot before dinner with g's old boss & his family.
the van winkles left for their summer vacation to iowa... and let us continue to stay at their house. so thankful for them!
loved our time at the north pole. so much fun.
another stop at garden of the gods... this time to walk to a favorite spot we wanted to show the girls.
and we ended our day downtown with the kleibers at the hill climb fest.
after one last stop at jamba juice (miss it so much!), we left for indiana... we were planning to stop, but we went for it & drove straight through. the girls were awesome. they were able to get comfortable & sleep off and on through the night.
our first trip back to colorado as a family since we moved... and it was perfect.
can't wait to do it again soon- not waiting 5years again!
