You're Closer To God in the Mountains

So, a couple of weeks ago we went on vacation to Colorado.  God's country.  

No, not Texas.

  

COLORADO.

We spent 13 looooong hours in the van getting there.  We're crazy like that.

We hung out in Denver with our best friends and their kids.  6 kids total.  That was, um, exciting.

The kiddie crew minus Princess #4

We ate at a restaurant together where Princess #1 actually WON the claw game.  A big blue bear!  I didn't think anyone won those things.

3 year olds kind of rock

We did "Colorado-y" things like sitting outside on the patio after dark in hoodies and sipping coffee.

My dear friend A and I trying to decide if we can do the 80's again.  We voted no.

We did that in the morning too.

Bad to the bone.

We went to feed the giraffes at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.

The princesses were equal parts fascinated and grossed out.  Me too.

And mostly we just enjoyed being together.

Vacations are good for the soul.
