Brubaker Bunch Colorado Adventure- Part 2

We started our day with a delicious breakfast together.... crepes!  I fell in love with crepes on our vacation to Mexico.  Our resort had an amazing creperie and espresso bar that I took full advantage of the "all inclusive" aspect of  : )   Here's the recipe I use at home... enjoy!

Day 2: Tourist Hot Spots


#1: Garden of the Gods

The Brubakers and I ventured out to hike around in Garden of the Gods.  The girls loved the cool rock formations and Hudson loved the free space to run around in.  They even had the opportunity to do a little off roadin' and rock climbing themselves...

After our little hike we took full advantage of the beautiful day and had a picnic in the park.

After lunch we moseyed over the the Trading Post which is souvenir central and the kids got to pick out a couple souvenirs with the money the earned on the car ride out here : )

#2: Focus on the Family Play Center

After Hudson's nap we loaded up the mini-van again and headed to the Focus on the Family Play Center.  I think Katie had her reservations about an indoor playground but I think she was pleasantly surprised!  The play center is equipped with play grounds for all different age groups... of course Hudson had no interest in the toddler room, he would rather be with the big kids! 

Here's Lorelai coming down off the huge 3 story slide

Hudson coming down a slide that is more his size

And Lorelai had her turn on the little slide

She says it's kinda fun... not as fun as the big slide

Amelia is a little booger to catch on camera... so here's the best I got

We had a blast at the playcenter!  Tons of stuff to explore and lots of room to run around in... the kids were pooped! 

#3: Cooking Club

Ok, maybe it's not really a tourist hot spot but it made it to our list of fun things to do!  I host a Cooking Club every month and this months meeting just so happen to be when the Brubakers were visiting so we made it a Girls Night Out!  Lorelai and Amelia practiced their manners on the car ride over and it was super cute to here them introduce themselves and ask people's names.  They even tried all the soups even though some were a little spicy.  And it was good for Amelia to finally meet my friends, I think she was a little worried about my social life because she kept asking if I had any friends : )

I love going to Cooking Club and it's even better with special guests!  The girls were absolutely exhausted and fell asleep in the car ride home... getting plenty of sleep to be ready for a fun day at the zoo!
