Happy Father's Day

Father's Day 2014 was AMAZING!

We were driving up to Albuquerque to do some shopping when Daddy and I decided that we should go on a spontaneous trip.  We picked somewhere not too far but somewhere neither of us had ever been.

We took a 7 hour road trip up to Colorado Springs.

And it was a great trip!

We visited the zoo there.  It has the largest giraffe exhibit in America.  You and daddy even got to feed them.  They're tongues are nasty!

You also got to feed some birds and pet a wallaby,  There were all the typical animals that you find at the zoo.  But this zoo was quite a trek.  It was up the side of a mountain and so we were constantly walking up a hill.  It was exhausting. But well worth it!

 

You got to ride the train twice!

We hiked through the Garden of the Gods,

It was a huge park with lots of places to pull over to hike.  When we finally did, we got this view:

 

Since we were totally unprepared, you had to hike by yourself and Sophia rode Mommy and Daddy's shoulders.

You were a champ!

You also got to go to a movie alone with daddy.  You saw How To Train Your Dragon 2 and you loved it.

As always we swam and had a continental breakfast.

We did a target run for a few bathroom items and some swimming stuff.  But for the most part, we got by with what we had in the car and in my purse.

It was such an adventure.

I loved it!

Happy father's day to the best dad I know-- Your dad.

Love,

Mom
