Gardens of the God

Okay, so it's really "Garden of the Gods," but that just sounds a little too heathenish. After weeks of snow on the ground and pregnancy low energy levels, I needed to escape. So we took a little trip to Colorado Springs with a detour to visit a yarn shop in the Black Forest. We lunched at Cracker Barrel, toured the beautiful rock formations in the late afternoon sun, and had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Adam's Mountain Cafe, in Manitou Springs. A very nice outing on a beautiful day.

Unfortunately, my photography skills are very limited, and I couldn't really capture the day. Here are some photos anyhow.


I was so disappointed this one came out blurry.


Turns out Felicity is quite the little trailblazer. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. She regarded the trails as optional, tried to take off into the trees several times, and screamed loudly when we put her in the stroller. Why is it that the more fun an outing is, the worse kids behave? Anyhow, we will have to take little wilderness girl on more hikes once new baby arrives and it warms up.

I enjoyed watching David chase Felicity around.






Here is what we really see most of the time.

Mad Hatter

Felicity love hats, and David couldn't resist snapping a few photos of her playing with one.


This one just makes me laugh.


(Yes, that is the "corral" that has so far saved Mommy's sanity.)

Pretty Baby

Today, we did some packing away of toys and searching out of toys from under the couch. There the mirror and brush were found after some time of being absent. Felicity was delighted to see them again and put them to use.
