Heaven in the middle of the city



Wanted to share some pictures of our beauty in the middle of the city. The kids and I went to Palmer Park yesterday to have a little fun since they were down about daddy going back home. This place is so beautiful and one of the last places in the city that still does not cost. The kids absolutely loved it. It only takes five minutes to get there and there is so much to do. We started out at the lookout to see the city on one side and the Rockies on the other. AMAZING views!!! We then went hiking around and over the rocks. So much fun. After about 45 minutes we made it back to our car and Kaitlyn wanted to find another trail to hike. Needless to say, I was completely worn out. We topped off the Palmer Park trip with some fun at the play area. It's amazing what three years gone can do to a place. This was a quiet and beautiful escape from the bustle and rush of the city people. We are a small town (less than 5000 people) family so this is a bit overwhelming for all of us. Mandee........I'm going to have to email you pictures of this place. You wouldn't believe how big it has become.

YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!!! Palmer park is a little peace of heaven. In fact a friend of mine here was headed to Colorado Springs and I sent her to Palmer Park. Also Garden of the Gods. I didn't think I could get homesick for Colorado this easily. :(
