Colorado Trip-Garden of the Gods again!

On Thursday we knew our trip was wrapping up. And we didn't like that idea one little bit! The playground at the campground didn't have a baby swing. It only had ONE swing and it wasn't a baby swing. But Kaelyn did enjoy the slide quite a bit while we were there. Anytime we were on the campgrounds we were throwing her ball around or playing on that slide. She would climb up the slide (with help!) and then run over the bridge that was behind it, then come back and go down the slide. It was nice that it was all at a level where I could still reach her so I could just stand at the side and help her. A couple of times when there were other kids around I climbed up there with her to make it a little safer.

In the morning we went to the Garden of the Gods again to explore a little more. Sean hadn't been there except for that first day we were there for a little while so he wanted to go back and walk around some more. Kaelyn napped well there in her stroller and seemed to enjoy running around as well. We walked the main part of the garden and then drove to the part that had the balancing rock and some of the other sights.

After her nap ended and we were done exploring we went to find a skateboard park we had seen the first day we were there when we were driving around looking for our campground. Sean had
his remote control car with him and he thought it would be fun to run it around on the ramps.
He had a great time with that and Kaelyn liked playing with the car around the parking lot too. There was also a swing at the park so Kaelyn got to finally do a little swinging. She didn't want to stop, actually! When I took her out she ran right back over to it and looked up at it like hey, I'm not done with that yet! The slides at the park were WAY too hot to use. It was getting pretty steamy so we left and went to the Garden of the Gods visitor center. Sean hadn't been there yet either.

After we looked through everything there we went back to the campgrounds. They had a spagetti dinner there that was really good. We just threw the ball around and played on the playground the rest of the evening. We were all pretty sad that the trip was over and not looking forward to the drive back. We enjoyed the humidity-less weather and having the mountains nearby to look at anytime we wanted.
