Glen Eyrie and Garden of the Gods
We went to Focus on the Family's headquarters first this morning. It rained all night last night and all day today. They had a giant slide, some play areas for the kids and a huge Adventures In Odyssey themed area.
This is the castle at Glen Eyrie. It has been the headquarters to the ministry called" The Navigators"
since the 1950's. We toured the castle and the grounds were breathtaking, even in the rain!
This was the parking lot. These amazing rock structures are all over the property.
This is The Garden of the Gods. This is very close to Glen Eyrie and it has more amazing rock formations!
This famous rock is known as balanced rock. We drove in between these praying the RV wouldn't knock it down!
We had a very uncamping evening at P.F. Changs and a visit to the Apple Store. It was a great day. Tomorrow we are hoping to take the cog train up to Pike's Peak! It's 14,000 feet high!
Last day at Estes Park and arriving in Colorado Springs
Downtown Estes Park
Alluvial Falls
Jr. Rangers!
The elk were right outside the RV! We ate dinner among them at our site and they minded their own business.

We drove three hours south to Colorado Springs. First stop: The Airforce Academy
This was our first family campfire night. We had a community fire in Estes Park because there are restrictions on burning campfires. We met a great family who also homeschools back in Estes. They had three girls and Sydney had a great time playing with them. We used Carmello's for Smore's- now Hershey's bars will be boring to me!
