Colorado Springs - Part 2 of 3

Further down the hike we found these rocks.  I can't remember the actual names, though each of the different formations had them, but it was a beautiful day and everyone seemed to be enjoying their time in the outdoors.

Some of these formations looked amazing, so I tried to get several pictures as backdrops.  Here are Tara, Gavin, and Gage in front of some pretty cool rocks.  I love the reds with the green moss mixed in and the texture of the sandstone behind them.

I also love this picture I got of Tara taking it all in.  You can also just barely make out Gavin in the background once again trying to climb anything and everything.

We stopped a park ranger to take a picture of the four of us together.  I am not quite sure what Gage is doing, but I assure you that he was having a good time.  The park ranger did notice the kids had some grass or flowers in their hands and reminded them that it would be best if we left it all in the ground so others could enjoy the same beautiful things that we have.  I think they took it to heart and we did a better job of not picking things for the remainder of the trip.

We completed the above loop and actually drove down the road a fair amount to a different section of the park.  We wanted to get to a place with a giant leaning rock.  Here you can see Gavin and Gage doing their best to hold up this giant rock to make sure it doesn't fall over.  This was our last stop at the park and we decided to head to the hotel to check in for the night.
