These little guys were just so cute!  Sometimes they wanted to play and be friendly and sometimes they would just shy away!

This was the view of our drive to Colorado Springs!  It is just so beautiful to see the snow covered mountains!

Here I am trying to play with the chipmunks...they wasn't to friendly the first day. Please ignore the date on the camera....not sure what happened but lost the date from yesterday to today....It is not really 1/1/2003!!

Here is the first Elk that I saw!  "Big Daddy" was smack in the middle of town!  He crossed the road and used his nose to open the gate of the ballfield and just went right in!  IGNORE DATE PLEASE!!!

Saturday Sept 26, 2009 ~ Colorado Springs "Garden of the Gods"

Entrance to Garden of the God's

This is a beautiful land mass that is naturally formed!  I can see how it got its name!

           

We got there just as the visitor center was closing so we didn't get to go up and look across at Pikes Peak.  But we drove thru the Garden of the Gods and it was so pretty!

This is on my list of "must see again's"

Fall Vacation 09 ~ Sat 9/26 Groom, TX

On our way to Colorado with Linda and Philip, we spent the night in Amarillo, Texas.  Just outside Amarillo is a small town called Groom, TX.  This is the cross that sits on the side of the highway.  It is beautiful at night!  The man that built the cross is a local engineer that lives about 30 miles from the property the cross is on.  He felt like God was leading him to build a cross, so he built it with no place to store it.  Someone donated the property and the cross was moved to its current location.  The bronze statues have been added to tell the story of the last week of Christ's life.

All around the base of the cross is bronze statues of the last week of Christ life. IT IS TOTALLY AMAZING!

This is a must see if you are headed toward Amarillo!

This is the view outside the door of the tomb!  What am amazing angle to get the tomb, the angel and the cross all in one picture!
