After we camped we headed up to Colorado Springs. Sunday night we were supposed to go to a balloon glow, but the weather was bad, so on Monday morning we went out on our balcony of our room and watched them in the morning.
Monday we went to Cave of the Winds. I was a little worried that the girls would be scared being down in the cave, but they had no problems at all.
Me and my girls in the cave.
The hike through the cave was about 1/2 mile and had about 200 stairs. Aly insisted on walking the whole thing by herself!
No, the picture's not messed up. At one point in the tour they turned off all of the lights. Kayla and Aly didn't get scared at all, but my claustrophobia started to set in at that point.

I took these pictures for my dad. This furniture was so cool!
On to Denver.....
We went and hung out with Naomi,
Erin, Sam,
and of course, Uncle Bo. (Thanks again for dinner and the soccer stuff!)
Back in Colorado Springs.... Tuesday we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It was so much better than the zoo here in Albuquerque. The picture above is of Kayla about to pet a baby wallaby.
My new friend. The girls kind of freaked out when they saw me go up to it. They thought it was real.

This zoo has the largest herd of giraffes in the world (in captivity). You can only see a few of them in this picture.
A baby giraffe. There were 3 or 4 babies.
Joe petting the giraffe.
Kayla feeding the giraffe a cracker. (Don't worry... it was allowed and we paid $1.00 to do it.)Below is a video of Joe feeding his new friend. He wanted to come home with us, but there wasn't room in the van.
We also went to Old Colorado City, swimming, and we drove around a lot to see what Colorado Springs was like. All in all. the trip was really fun! The only downside was having to come home. (I had a migraine on the way home so it really wasn't fun for me!) I'm already looking around for ideas for our vacation next year. Any suggestions?
