Focus and the Cheyenne Canyon Park

On Tuesday morning we headed to take the girls to Focus on the Family.  We got a tour from Amanda, saw where she works, and then spent 3 hours at Adventures in Odyssey and the Focus on the Family bookstores.  It was great, but I don't have any pics b/c I forgot my picture card for my camera.  The girls had a great time.

After Focus the girls went on another trip into the mountains to discover more cool things.  We drove past the Broadmoor  and then continued on to discover the North Cheyenne Canyon Park.  It was so beautiful!


We took tons of pictures, discovered Helen Hunt Falls,


and then decided to go down another Gold Hill Road that lead into old Colorado City.  This was the area near Colorado Springs where Gold was discovered, fortunes were made, and the area that was the main reason Colorado Springs eventually came to be.  There was an awesome view of Colorado Springs from the top.


We also had to pass through Tunnel #2



and tunnel #1
