Wishing everyone all the best for the holiday season.

Happy Halloween from “Thomas the Tank Engine” and “Vampire Princess”.

Elizabeth celebrates her 4th birthday today.

Instead of baking in the 90 degree plus temperatures in Colorado Springs, we decided to beat the heat by making the trek (along with hundreds of others) up Pikes Peak.

Its a 19 mile trip to the 14,110 ft. summit and as the posted signs say – a two hour round trip.

By the time we got to the tree line (about 12,000 ft.) the temperature had dropped some 20 degrees and when we reached the top it had dropped another 10 degrees.

As we made our way up the twisting, turning unpaved portion of the road at a stately 25 MPH, we kept wondering how and why the drivers in the Pikes Peak hill climb managed to do it at an average speed of 110 MPH.

Today is my birthday. Plan to spend it with the family.

It was a glorious day in Colorado Springs and we decided to visit the Zoo. Aidan was fascinated by the animals. I was surprised at how much he enjoyed them. When we got to the monkeys he saw them and started giggling and squealing. Those were his favorite.

We saw a white lion and a Siberian tiger, an eagle, and many more. We got some great pics and had a wonderful day.

He had some of his Daddy’s green snow cone too. I think it felt good on his gums!!

Mine and Paul’s calves are sore due to the fact that the zoo is on Cheyenne Mountain. But all in all I think Aidan enjoyed his first trip to the zoo. – By Jennifer
