Before the kids went back to school, Kristi and I took them for one last hurrah up more than 14,000 feet. What we didn't expect to see if a Big Foot Xing. Eek!
These boys weren't afraid of any such Big Foot. It did prompt a nice debate on whether there really is such a thins as Big Foot... or not.

After a long and twisty drive up the mountain, we soared at more than 14,000 feet on top of Pikes Peak.

On the way up the mountain, we read that there were world famous donuts up top. So, we had to check these donuts out.
We took the donuts outside to enjoy the view and to fully enjoy these World Famous Donuts.

The views from the top were gorgeous! It made me want to hike another 14er... someday.
After some time at the the top, it was time to head back down. Heading down, we took a few photos. Yikes!
The boys may have been told that they had to stay calm and quiet since the driver had to concentrate.
On our way down the mountain, there was a great lake that was begging us to stop and dip our toes in.
Ot was gorgeous with Pike's Peak in the background.
On the way home, we drove right past Garden of the Gods, so we stopped to check it out.
Cole, Kellan Oliver and Owen may have been almost over being tourists and photos, but they stopped for one more.
Where appropriate, we let the boys give rock climbing a try.
After a great day of touring some famous and unbelievable Colorado landscapes, we decided to go out with a bang and we stopped at a hibachi grill. Plus, these Mamas earned a relaxing dinner.
For added flair, our chef photo bombed us.
The boys were thrilled!!
After a fantastic day, Kellan was all chop sticks.
What an awesome last hurrah before school stars in a few weeks. We ALL Loved It!

Big Foot? Near your house?! Our boy would be so excited; I'll send him down with his game cameras! Also... I won't lie. I'm just patiently waiting for that blue Under Armour and yellow Gap sweatshirt to become too small at your house, so that they make their way to our home. You do know how to dress a boy up smartly!
