Air Force Academy

Air Force Academy

Winter in Colorado can be a drag if you’re not skiing or snowboarding (which we most definitely are not at this time in our life). Exercise and outside time is so good for everyone in the family, so today we ventured to the Air Force Academy to do a little exploring. I always write off […]

Just Drive – Breckenridge

January 15, 2016

Just Drive – Breckenridge

Sometimes you just have to get out of the house and head west with no real destination in mind. That is exactly what we did on a cold Saturday in January (2016). First stop- Donut Mill in Woodland Park to have some tasty treats, then we stopped to enjoy the views off of highway 24 […]

Cripple Creek Railroad

Cripple Creek Railroad

The Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad is a fun train ride for kids of all ages. We went in September 2014 when our older boys were 3, 22 months, and I was pregnant with our third boy. If you time it just right, it can be a spectacular time and location to view […]

Happy Apple Farm

September 6, 2014

Happy Apple Farm

Updated 9/2/18 The Happy Apple Farm is by far my favorite place to go for apple picking (ok, I haven’t been anywhere else) and pumpkin patch-ing. The Happy Apple Farm is very kid-friendly and budget friendly. The hay rides are free, and you just pay for what you bring home (apples, pumpkins, berries, etc). We’ve gone […]

Cave of the Winds

Cave of the Winds

We continue to want to explore where we live and really enjoy what is close to home. On this Colorado Adventure, we decided to try Cave of the Winds. The boys were 2 (a month before his 3rd birthday) and 18 months at this time, and a cave seemed like the perfect place to take […]

Rampart Reservoir

Rampart Reservoir is accessible through Woodland Park and is about 30 minutes west of Colorado Springs (well, depends on where in the Springs you are coming from). Rampart Reservoir has been Erick’s fishing spot with his buddies for years. We took the kids here in May 2014 when they were 2 (just a month before […]

Indian Hot Springs

December 28, 2013

Indian Hot Springs

My kids are huge fans of swimming, so as long as there’s water they’re happy! This is the first time that we have taken our kids to a hot springs. We had extended family in town, so the Indian Hot Springs was a good sort-of central place to meet. Located west of Denver off of […]
