A Day at Castle Rock!!

We arrived in Colorado Springs yesterday after being on the road for 23 hours straight.  Mark drove most of it except the 1.5 hours I drove and the 2 hours we spent in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  It was a very long trip and I am glad that we are not going back that way.  Wyoming was beautiful but very boring, it is like the drive from Calgary to Wetaskiwin only longer.  Once we left Cheyenne there was a lot more traffic and things to see.

We were so happy to arrive and see that our hotel was indeed as nice as the pictures online.  You never know what you are going to get when you book ahead.  But our room is great, the kids have their own room and Mark and I have our own room with a living room and kitchenette in between.  It is like a mini apartment.  There is a free continental breakfast every morning that was amazing this morning. (can't wait till breakfast again!!!!!)  We also have the most amazing view out our window at Pike's Peak.

All ready for church, thought this would be a good time for a family picture.

You can see Pike's Peak behind the girls' picture better than the other two pictures.









We went to church this morning in Castle Rock.  We had met the pastor 2 years ago at the home school convention and thought it would be neat to go to his church.

After church we went shopping at the Outlet stores in Castle Rock.  It was alright, it was very windy and the kids didn't feel like shopping much.

We came back to the hotel and thought we would really tire the kids out and took them swimming.  A perfect end to the day.

We are all very excited for tomorrow.  We are going to go to Focus on the Family.  I will upload more pictures tomorrow so you can get an idea of what we are all so excited about!!!
