Connecting in Colorado

What a wonderful time we had visiting my niece Lori and her family in Thornton Colorado just north of Denver.  This is our first visit to their home; they have come to Kincardine but we never see enough of each other.  It has been 5 years so this was a heart warming reunion.  Some sight seeing on the side made this stop a highlight on our road trip home.

Kyle and Katie: thanks for the games, laughs, hugs and lessons in life.  It was a joy to spend time with you.
Picnic at El Dorado State Park
We saw an eagle's nest  from this vantage point at Lake Barr
Deer at Barr Lake 

Lunch at a European cafe at the foot of Pike's Peak at Colorado Springs 

We took a ride on the amazing Cog train to the top of Pike's Peak.  Thin air up there at over 14000 ft.
This was like being on a plane! 
Perched on top!

See the "kissing camels" top left? These amazing rock formations are near Colorado Springs at Garden of the Gods

A tight squeeze!


Lori and Robert: thanks for the above and for sharing your beautiful home and for showing us around your stomping grounds.  Love you all.
