We have been making our way around resorts in Colorado Springs. We tried another called the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. This one was just minutes away from the zoo which we have been very eager to check out. We had a great time, but I preferred the Garden of the Gods resort. 

We waited out the rain playing cards. We taught the girls Gin Rummy. Annabelle loved it, Gwyneth played one hand and asked if she could color instead. 

Fierce!

What a view!

The hotel had a smores bar….Gwyneth went for the standard chocolate bars and Annabelle and I added Reeces Peanut Butter cups. 

We finally got to visit the zoo. I had heard so much about it, but have never been. It was just as amazing as everyone described! 

Feeding the giraffes. B was the most adventurous of the group. 

After our zoo trip, we had pizza in Manitou Springs. 

Next stop: the top of Pikes Peak!
