Colorado Springs fun with Aunt Malinda and Jeralin

Malinda and Jeralin stopped by to see us for a couple of days on their trip across the county.  We love having company and were happy to have them.  We spent the day at the mining museum where the kids got to dress up and go panning for gold.
 Alyssa made a cute miner!

 There "treasures" were tiny pieces of gold....they were hard to find but the each kid found about 5 pieces of something beautiful.


 The grounds all around the mining museum were fun to explore as well.  They had old machinery and buildings and even some animals.
 Brea found some pretty flowers for Momma!
 These two cousins had fun together, playing games, visiting, and hiking.
 An old train made a great backdrop for this Momma and her four fun kiddos
 We also drove through Monument and showed Jeralin the house her Dad grew up in.  The very next day the Black Forest area was ablaze with fire and the house we drove by was on evacuation notice.  Luckily it was not burned, but 300 other homes were.
 After Monument we met Jeff at Garden of the Gods.  We are so lucky to live near such beauty and the fact that it is free is amazing this day and age.


The morning they left Malinda was so kind to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to the girls.  We sure enjoyed having them with us.
