We drove longer than we planned and are staying in Hays, Kansas tonight. It was so nice to see the fields of sunflowers blooming.
We visited Focus on the Family and took the tours through the Operations and Administrations buildings. It is a large campus. We enjoyed the Bookstore, visitor center and the theater. It was very refreshing to see God as the center after touring the country and seeing many things.
One of the buildings at Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs.
Grandpa and "Mr. Whitaker" at Odessy at Focus on the Family.
Very interesting place to visit.
"Chief Elroy" coming out of the tepee
We visited the Manatou Cliff Dwellers. It was so interesting! We went through the museum, watched Indian dances and walked through a house in the cliff.
Grandma coming down from the second story of this house.
We also visited and enjoyed walking through the Garden of the Gods.We watched some rock climbers while there.
A big balanced rock at The Garden of the Gods. Do you happen to see grandpa under there?
A view from our walk in the Garden of the Gods. This was what they called the "kissing camels". I could not get the whole thing in the picture.
It was 29 degrees on the Summit. At one point we were above the clouds, but then the higher we went, it was very foggy. The 86 yr old lady that sat next to us said she is so sorry that we couldn't see more. She lives there and had her 2 granddaughters with her. If on a clear day, they say we could have seen all of Colorado Springs and also into Kansas. We were still glad we went up and saw what we could.
These boys were very concerned about the lady that was using oxygen while on the Summit.
All the way! We could tell a difference in our breathing. An elderly lady that also rode the train, needed O2 while there.
Of Course, we reached the summit and there was snow!!
A pretty view on the way
A view on the way up the mountain. The one area reminded me of Sound of Music hills.
WE did take the cog railway up the mountain. There was a guide talking on the way up explaining things seen on the way up.
Yesterday we did go to Pikes Peak. I could not get the internet last night so I will do double pictures tonight.
