Colorado Springs, Colorado part 1


On our way through Colorado, we decided to visit Jonathan's cousin Amy. It was so great to finally meet her! I was a little nervous to stay with her seeing it was my first time meeting her, but she made us feel right at home. I was also very excited to be around so many animals. There were three cats and a Punky the dog. I have been craving some animal love, so that was great for me.
Amy was also a great tour guide, she took us to a lot of very cool places. One of them being Pikes Peak. Pikes Peak is at 14,110ft. That is higher than I have ever been. On our way up to the top I could feel myself getting short on breath. Once on the top though I felt fine. It's like snorkeling, slow breaths, and I was great. It was so cold and windy when we got to the top, we really had to bundle up!



Olivia was so adventurous, she was so willing to climb anything and try new things. She even tried Jonathan's Freebord and did awesome! 


Here is Olivia climbing at the garden of the Gods.


Here is a shot of us in front of the Siamese twins rock formations. Through the rocks you can see pikes peak in the background, it's hard to see here, but i know it's there.


 More beautiful formations!

We had fun playing with the different filters on our phones, this picture below is Amy and I with a cartoon filter.


 Thanks you Amy for an awesome time!
