Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

May 21, 2016

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

A trip to Colorado Springs is not complete without a visit to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. This mountain zoo is over 146 acres and home to over 950 different animals. Erick and I have not been to this zoo in over 3 years and the construction and changes that they’ve made in that time were […]

Downtown Aquarium- Denver

February 17, 2016

Downtown Aquarium- Denver

Colorado is very much a land-locked state, but luckily you don’t have to go too far to experience sea turtles thanks to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver. Waving to Grandma!  I grew up in Chicago and experienced several field trips and other outings at the famous Shedd Aquarium, so my expectations of an aquarium are pretty high. […]

Little Monkey Bizness

February 16, 2016

Little Monkey Bizness

Little Monkey Bizness is seriously my kids’ happy place. I would describe this place as a gross motor skill training arena. Little Monkey Bizness has large jungle gyms, slides, bounce houses, mini climbing walls, mini basketball (of the Playskool variety), an arts and crafts room, crawling baby section, all with a cafe. The seating area is adjacent […]

Cheyenne Mountain State Park

Cheyenne Mountain State Park

Cheyenne Mountain State Park is the closest state park to us here in Colorado Springs and has over 21 miles of kid-friendly hiking trails. My boys absolutely love this park and every week when we go hiking they ask to go back to this park. We visited Cheyenne Mountain State Park twice during the summer of […]

Touch A Truck

Touch A Truck

Touch A Truck is a fundraiser that is held annually by the Junior League of Colorado Springs. Our first time attending this event was the 2015 Touch A Truck.

Mueller State Park

Mueller State Park

Mueller State Park is another kid-friendly, toddler-friendly hiking area that’s not too far from Colorado Springs. We’ve been there several times with young kids and have had no problem with them exploring the park. Stop at the Visitor Center first to get a map and specific information on trails and viewpoints around the park. We’ve […]

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 […]

Driving Pikes Peak

Driving Pikes Peak

Driving Pikes Peak is a drive that everyone should experience at least once! The highway is a 19-mile drive with several points of interest along the way. We drove up Pikes Peak in June 2014 when our older boys were just about 3 and 19 months. Our first stop was Crystal Lake. Our oldest made […]

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 […]
