Spring Break: Colorado Springs

For Spring Break this year we packed up and headed out west to Colorado.

To make the 10 hour drive a little more fun for the kids, we stopped a few times along the way to search for a geocache. In this one we found in Kansas, we took the Travel Bug inside which has a tracker on it and decided to re-plant it once we got to Colorado.

The kids were super excited about seeing their cousins. Kayla and Rachel had lots of fun playing together and spent lots of time downstairs dancing to music (one of Rachel's favorite things to do). Kayla got to join Rachel one day for her dance class which she enjoyed.

Austin and Tyler also had a great time playing together whether it was playing mario on the Wii or going geocaching in Colorado Springs. 

The day after we arrived in Colorado Springs, Craig's brother, his wife and their baby drove down from Denver. Austin and Kayla were excited to meet their newest cousin, Bristol. Austin really enjoyed holding her.

As did Kayla....even though Bristol wasn't too happy at this moment.

Kayla liked playing little "mommy" and telling me what it was she thought that baby Bristol needed.

One day we took the kids over to Jump N Jacks Bounce Place. Don't let these silly faces fool you. The kids had a great time. They ran, jumped, climbed, and went down the slides for 2 hours.

 

 

My sister and her husband who were super nice to let us stay at their home for 5 days.

Me and Craig also took the kids to play Glow In The Dark Mini Golf.

They had a fun Laser game where you go inside a room, the laser beams light up and you have to cross from one end to the other and back while trying to dodge the lasers. Above is Austin doing it which he did a pretty good job.

We tried to get Kayla to do it also but she was too nervous about the laser beams and only made it under one before turning around and coming back.

So Craig took her turn instead.

One day we tagged along while Craig played some frisbee golf.

After playing frisbee golf we met up with my sister, husband, and kids at their local indoor pool which had a wave pool, lazy river, whirpool, and slide. It was a pretty neat place and the kids loved it.

Our fun St. Patrick's day fruit plate we ate with dinner.

As you can tell, the kids had a super fun time with their cousins.
