After telling Alaina for days that there would be beautiful mountains in Colorado Springs, we drove in from Denver and all we could see were really thick clouds. There was nothing, really. Alaina saw the small hills bordering the highway and kept saying, "Oh look at the mountains!" We just had to laugh... no way to try to explain to her just how BIG the mountains that she WASN'T seeing.
But this morning is a totally different story. After enjoying a good (and long) night's sleep, the kids all piled into our bed. We are used to sleeping on a double so to have a king sized bed is quite a luxury! We opened the blinds and there before us was the gorgeous snowy top of Pike's Peak. So gorgeous. Can't believe we used to live here. Can't believe Caleb was born here. So good to be back.
The drive was long, but good. And now we are just looking forward to enjoying the next five days...just being together, nothing that "has" to be done. Seeing old friends. Meeting new friends. Reconnected...with each other, with friends, with God. Should be a great week.
Hopefully the wireless internet will be all set up and running today so I can upload pictures from my computer. I don't like pictureless posts. But hey, I take what I can get. Right?
Have a great Wednesday. No plans here. How good does THAT feel??
Sounds glorious Janet! Glad you made it safely! Cannot wait to see the pics!

I love Pike's Peak! My hubby's from that neck of the woods and that is one of the things I look forward to seeing when I visit his Dad. Of course, the view is better from the top of it. LOL! That's when you really see the power and beauty of what God created.

LOL on the pictureless posts! I feel the same way, but sometimes there's NOTHING to upload, hehehe.
Is it Friday, i.e., your sale, yet? :) Can't wait to see what you have up!
