Today the weather is COLD, but we had a BEAUTIFUL weekend in Colorado Springs!
Saturday we went exploring in Garden of the Gods. Paul found a large hole and decided that, “a bear must live there…but he’s out hiking right now.” (Watch out for the hiking bear!)
Thankfully, we never found the hiking bear, but we did find a herd of Big Horn Sheep!
A purchaser from Garden of the Gods trading post asked me to drop off a copy of my book so that she could review it to consider selling in their store! We dropped it off and then went to our favorite spot to take in the view. George watched his VERY first sunset and was SO excited! He said, “Did you see that? The sun just dropped behind the mountain, that was SOOO cool!” I love experiencing things through my kids eyes!
At home, Clark built his own Bear Cave:
Sunday we went to the Cottonwood Creek Rec Center – it’s part of the YMCA, so as members of the Y, we get to use this awesome facility. It’s almost as nice as Great Wolf Lodge!
That afternoon lots of the neighborhood kids played in our cul-de-sac while the parents gathered to catch up and chat.
Monday the kids were out of school for President’s day so we met some friends and played at Monkey Bizness. Afterwards we came home and made some cookies. While Luke napped, George and I edited a video for their YouTube Channel – Free Range Eglys.
What did you do over the weekend!? Leave me a comment!

February 22, 2018 at 7:17 pmSounds like a great weekend! The pictures are beautiful.
We had a lovely weekend, too. Saturday night we went out to dinner with a couple and we had such easy rapport. He works at Target in my building and they live in Savage so it’s great to have new friends close by. On Sunday, we took my phone to the mall to get a new battery and while we were waiting for service, we grabbed ice cream, bought a new game, and sat in the game store eating our dessert and learning to play the game. Super fun! It felt like the best and most unique date we’ve had in a long time!
