Expedition to Colorado Pt. 2

  Okay, so I left off at Audrey and I not going to bed like we should have, and getting up at 6:30 for Bible study; which was a lovely start to the day. After it and breakfast, us three went by ourselves to sight see, because some of our friends couldn't come as they had to catch up on work first, and we also couldn't fit any of the others in the car with us-bumble bee has a very tiny seating compartment, alas. So we start off, and it is as we pull off onto their dirt road that I see my first of the Colorado mountains-words can't describe them, they are so breath-ta-kingly beautiful! I was driving to my sorrow, but was still able to snag some of it, much to everyone's discomfort. The lack of trust is saddening, sigh.
  On to Colorado Springs, where our first stop was at Focus on the Family!! If you hang around my family long, you soon learn that we are die-hard fans of Adventures in Odyssey.:) We perused the bookstore first of all, which had a great selection.
 

No I was not on my phone,(don't have one), it was my sisters, and I was letting her know what was here to buy for her son.:)   That was the Adventures in Odyssey room, with all the radio adventures, and other related products. After this we made our way into the other building side, and went to find Odyssey-via a three-story slide!  I didn't scream on the way down if you were wondering, but I got dizzy slightly, from going round and round. It was really enjoyable.:)

Then we explored all the things there in "Odyssey". I think the three best were Whit's End, which was an actual soda shop like in the adventure's, the Kid's Radio room, and the Narnia room!:)

We recorded a adventure in the Kid's Radio room after lunch, then we had to pry ourselves away and go see more. Which was the Garden of the gods! And it had some of the loveliest hiking trails, with gorgeous, huge rocks. "wait, rocks were gorgeous?" yes they were, my friend!

And after that we viewed the Indian Cliff Dwellings, which was vastly interesting to Justin, as he saw his Louis L' Amour books come to life. He knew so much that was there, he almost didn't need the information boards.:)

After that it was time to head back, being some more of our good friends, the Martell family, were coming to dinner that night! We had a lovely time talking and talking, and it really ended too soon, as all good things seem to. And now I'd better stop here as well, to put in the next part.
