OK, so enough about our great hotel. We finally got to go to Focus on the Family today. This is quite a big deal to us because I think Mark and I started talking about coming here when we were still dating. FOTF produces a kids radio drama called Adventures in Odyssey that I think I started listening to when I was about 12 and Mark would listen to FOTF radio broadcasts when he was young too! So we always thought it would be neat to come here. They have a whole centre set up for the kids that is based around Adventures in Odyssey.
The kids had such a great time, they even got to record a short Adventure in Odyssey broadcast to take home. There is a huge bookstore that I could have spent hours in and a lot of money too. (it is a good thing we have limited space in our vehicle!!)
We are planning on going back another day and taking a tour to see where the radio show is broadcast from.
There were even costumes of the characters that we could try on. Mark is Whit, I am Connie and I think the kids are the Barclay family.(for those of you that know the characters.)
Colorado Springs is a beautiful city, we also did a little bit of driving around today. I really enjoy going into the stores and seeing what different things they have here, we went to Costco and it's amazing the different things they carry, I even saw chocolate Cheerios. I'm not much of a cereal eater but the chocolate sounds great!!!
Tonight we went for a nice supper at the Olive Garden. I am not sure how we are going to make another 2 weeks of eating out though, Mark and I are both looking for a good home cooked meal already!!
A few more pictures at Focus on the Family.
Oh boy! Now Chloe REALLY wants to go! Great pictures - looks like you guys are having a super time! Not a bad Whit, Mark, although it would be much more convincing if you had a big handlebar moustache!!
