Mom, Laura, and I, and our Adventures!

We decided that we needed some fondu! Mom and Laura did not plan a head for the perfectly balanced compostion due to matching shirts but it did work out quite nicely.


This is a street front in a town called Manatoue Springs! We loved this little town.

This is mom and I in a crack in a giant rock formation at the Garden of the gods. What a beautiful park! There were all kinds of creative interpretations of the rocks but we never could find the sleeping giant. My favorite was the kissing camels.

This is a rock at the very bginning of the Garden of the gods called Balancing Rock.

This is the 7 Falls waterfall, and yes if you look carefully you will see the lovely flight of stairs that we climbed up to the top. Go team!

This is me and my momma at 7 falls! My mom, Laura, and I had a wonderful time at this park, although we were expecting 7 different waterfalls. Don't worry though, what we were missing in falling water we made up for in climbing stairs. I believe that when all was said and done I climbed close to 400 stairs to get to the top of the waterfall.

7 Falls park features much beauty and many stairs! Further more the stairs climb very steeply up the side of the cliff face where the waterfall is. Let me tell you that by the time I was at the half way point I was breathing as if I had just ran a half marathon!

This is Laura and Mom at 7 Falls! It is a park with a waterfall at the center of it that has 7 different kinds of waterfalls in it. I am completely unable to explaine how this is possible, but if you are interested my brother Michael just finished a geology class and may be of some help!:)

Laura and mom made reservations for us at a place called Flying W Ranch. The set up is of an old western town. This is a picture of us in the saloon. (I also got a camera before I left and we were discovering the wonders of the color option menu with this picture!)

While walking around the old town we discovered a bench where they used to shine shoes. We all had sandles on but we decided that we needed a shoe shineing none-the-less.

We had such a wonderful time together and I was so blessed that Laura and my mom where able to come over to Colorado with me and get me settled in! They did an exceptional job!
