Lunch in Castle Rock - (picture overload!)

It was a super hot day yesterday, but Nenna and Horhay managed to get a little sunbathing in on the deck before lunch. We then had a drive down to our little town of Castle Rock to look around (Jason  was working).  There is a large 'Barn' there that has lots of little craft shops in it. Nenna loved looking around (as did I) and Horhay. . . .  well, I think he kinda liked it too. Here's a few pictures. . . 

After a little shopping we went for lunch across the street at a little place called Siennas. We sat outside by the fountain.

and snapped a couple of pictures of the 'Castle Rock'.

In the evening we went out for and Indian Meal :-) 

I think a good day was had by all.

Zoo Day!

We had a fun day at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo yesterday. It's located in Colorado Springs and is about a 50 minute drive from us. The weather was wonderful, the views up there spectacular. Here's a few photos from the day . . . . .

 

Giraffes are the main attraction at this zoo. For a couple of dollars you can buy lettuce leaves and feed them. Have you seen the size of a giraffe's tongue!!!

 

The skyride was amazing.

Awesome Views

Special Guests!

My sister Brenda and Brother-in-law George arrived on Tuesday night to spend over 2 weeks with us :)
'Nenna' has been taking most of the pictures on her camera but I took a few on my phone yesterday so I could upload them here (I can upload straight from my phone to blogger!). 

Looks rather cloudy in the pictures, but the weather has been wonderful so far. Very sunny in the mornings, very hot, but then a little cloudy in the afternoons which is fine as it means we can sit outside for longer and not be too hot.  I will try to get some pictures posted from Nenna's camera in the next few days.
