Garden of the Gods: Balanced Rock

 On Tuesday (July 8) we were suppose to do family photos.  That didn't quite work out, so we headed around the Garden of the Gods.  It is such an amazing and gorgeous place!  We stopped at the Balanced Rock formation and the kids had a marvelous time climbing over everything.  It was a really great morning there.

Rylee and Delaney, feeling impressive on the slope.

Yep, Levi came with us.  He is on the top of the rock with Callie and Dan.

This is Balanced Rock.  With my little minions.

And me.  I'm in there too!

Joshua is practicing his Heroic Pose.  This photo does no justice to the beautiful view behind the nutty boy.

Callie really wanted a picture of her and Levi under this rock.

A couple of crazy kids.

You can't tell so much from the picture, but Marian was pretty high up on that rock and I honestly didn't think she was going to make it across.  I had visions of her falling and breaking something.

But she made it!

Oh yeah, I'm so strong!

Delaney felt pretty brave and did some good climbing.

Rylee, pretending to hold up the rock.

Me and my sweet girl.

Daddy and Delaney.

My "I was there" selfie.

Oh yeah, and the family picture we'd started out to get. (It was drizzling.)
