Pikes Peak

Yay! One thing crossed off the bucket list already! We finally made it up to the top of Pikes Peak, via car. But man was it COLD and WINDY! Wind chill of -15 and winds strong enough to blow our kids around!

Me and the boys

Dan and the  boys (every picture had alex's mouth open! it was cold and windy!)

A kind soul took a family picture for us, but it's not very close up. Oh well. We'll try when it's warm

Alex was grumpy about the donuts and hot chocolate

I quite enjoyed them!

Scenery from the top of Pikes Peak

For me the most memorable part of the trip was seeing this goat at the tippy top of Pikes Peak. They had said we might see them a few miles before the summit, but he was right there at the top with us!

After braving the cold and wind up top, we headed back down. At this stop you get quite a good view of pikes peak behind you, and the boys threw ice on the frozen reservoir.

And apparently there have been Bigfoot sightings in the Pikes Peak region. All the gift shops have Big Foot paraphernalia, hahaha

We had fun despite the weather. Can't wait to go up again when it's warm out!
