Cripple Creek Visitor Center

Jessi and Gary went to the Crags for a morning hike on Sunday - Glenn gave the kids rides on the ATV which is always a hit with them!
 
Next on the agenda was the play park - it's so early in the season that the swings weren't even out so Kenzie was disappointed about that - but they still had fun!!!


We all met back at the house for a quick lunch and then headed over to Cripple Creek to walk through the visitor center - the kids loved riding the "mine" elevator to the 3rd floor to see this display!

Glenn even posed for us in this hat that of course he didn't buy!!

The lower level has a wonderful town display complete with a running train so the kids loved that!!  One last pose with the bear before leaving this fantastic building with all the mining info!

Even though it was windy and cold out, we needed ice cream!!  We found a nice relaxing place and just vegged out for a while!!

Back at the house, Glenn and Gary and Evan left to go hunt gems at a friends place - Kenzie was exhausted so she easily laid down for a nap and Jessi and I got to play a few games together before the guys came back for grilled hamburgers that tasted great!!!  And after getting the kids to bed that evening, we even got in one more game of Upwords!!!  To Be Con'd.....
