Colorado Springs Vacation, Day 2

Saturday morning we slept in, enjoyed a nice breakfast, and headed out for another day of fun. We decided to take Katelee miniature golfing. She loved it and has already been asking when we can do again!
Gerald showing Katelee how to hold the golf club. Once she got the hang of it she was surprisingly good - better than me!
Yes! I did it!
Katelee like the elephant.
Hole in one!!!!

Yes, Katelee DID get a hole in one! Here she is beside her golf ball holding up 'one' finger!
Gerald also got a hole in one before the game was over, at the windmill.

(Though does it count as a hole in one if you tried three times to get a hole in one???? I don't think so . . . ) Ha ha ha!

Quick story: Sunday night after returning home for our trip, we were having family home evening. Katelee was in charge of the activity. She brought out blankets and colored on paper to create her own 'mini golf' hole. Gerald pulled out his putter and a ball, and we played 'at-home' miniature golf. What a creative girl!

After golfing, we headed out to see the Garden of the Gods.
The Garden of the Gods really is beautiful country.
I love the red rocks.
This formation is called the "kissing camels." Can you see them?
One of the park rangers gave us a little tour. Katelee befriended his dog, Winnie. They became inseparable for the rest of our time there. ;)
It was a beautiful day - perfect weather!
My little hiker



The sky was SO BLUE that day, I couldn't stop commenting on it. It was really gorgeous against the red rocks and with the deep green of the mountain trees. The colors all complimented each other nicely and made them seem even more vivid.

Can you find Katelee?
After we were done at the Garden of the Gods, we enjoyed some dinner and returned to the hotel for more SWIMMING!

Sunday morning we checked out and headed home for church.

What a nice little family get-away! We can't wait to do it again sometime soon!
