Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, CO, July 9, 2013

Vacation2013 177
We spent the whole day of July 9 in Colorado Springs.  In the morning we went for the drive up Pikes Peak.  We had to turn off the AC in the car for the drive up.  It wasn’t too bad though because the temperature was only 54 degrees up top.
The kids got tired of the ride and there was so many little bugs up top that we didn’t stay long.  Sheila totally freaked out about the little gnat like bugs.  They were everywhere, coating our clothes and hair. 
On the way up we stopped at the reservoir and then at a snow drift that hadn’t melted.  The only times my kids have really played in the snow have been the summer time when we have gone up to mountains with snow still on them. We did see some mountain goats on our way down the mountain.
