Rock Garden Visit


This past weekend's family outing was to the Garden Of The Gods. We had heard that it is one of the must-see places in Colorado and now that the weather is starting to cool down we thought we'd better go now. When Bella asked her new favorite question, "Where are we?", we told her we were at the "Rock Garden". We didn't want to confuse her with the real name since we have been teaching her about God. She is still talking about the rock garden.

So, Garden Of The Gods is a beautiful scenic place full of amazing natural red rock formations. Some of the rock formations looked like different animals. Supposedly, it got it's name because if there was a garden in greek mythology that's what it would have looked like. It was beautiful to see and Isabella loves nature, especially rocks, so she had a blast. There were several rock climbers climbing the rocks (you have to have a special permit to do that) so that was fun to watch too.
















Hmm, now what Colorado attraction should we visit this weekend??

I'm so glad you made it. It looks beautiful. Drew has been but I haven't yet-I've only seen it from a distance.
