Ah, spring break! For the first time since college, we get spring break (well, actually, just Jess gets the official spring break-the kids and I are making it ours too). We decided to head west to Colorado and are so happy to have Jess's sister Alyse along! We started at 4am on Saturday and had a fairly easy trip. Explored the rental house in the middle of nowhere (14 miles from Woodland Park, CO) and bought our groceries. On a cold Sunday morning we had a family worship service and headed to the Dinosaur museum in Woodland Park, but rushed back to the cabin early because of a winter storm warning! Snuggled in and waited. . . We woke this morning to this:
Now that my kids aren't Georgians anymore, they are used to snow,but the sunny 35 degree morning made exploring the mountain in the snow a unique and amazing adventure!
Swing!
the sun was too bright for these kids.
This photo makes me anxious, it was right before Amos almost fell off the cliff.
sweet Si has kept us laughing this week.
"Thank you for taking me thank you thank you for taking me!" Amos LOVES the snow. 
A man and his dog.
After a morning in the snow we headed to Colorado Springs and the Focus on the Family Welcome Center. They have a great play area for kids. And ice cream.
a puppet theater.
a stage and costumes.
It was about this time that we realized that somehow, when he went to the potty, Si had not put his underwear on right, and it had shimmied down his leg. I told you he keeps us laughing.
Next stop: The Olympic Training Center. A nice, free diversion.
Team USA!
I think the rest of the week is supposed to be dry and sunny so we'll be hitting the mountains! Stay tuned!
