All into one!

Sorry for the delay in a post, but as you know we have been spending time with my family and enjoying every moment! My mother is one of NINE children, who are all married and have children and their children are married and have children of their own! As you can imagine, my family is huge, and it's a full time job catching up with everyone!

We have spent a lot of time visiting with family and friends, seeing a few of the sights including the mountains, Manitou Springs which is a city built on a mountain, Garden of the Gods which is a park full of the most beautiful rock formations and epic views of the Rockies, City Park rides (for children) with my cousin and her two kids and Fargo's Pizzeria.

 

Bishops Castle which is a castle that has been built by a man by the name of John Bishop - can I just stop here and say that by Australian building standards the castle is completely unsafe my legs were shaking the whole time walking on a balcony made of  uneven pieces of scrap metal that had been welded together - no signage to indicate theweight capacity.

Tim managed to climb the tower and onto a bridge in the sky that led well... nowhere but it was a unique experience! We have spent time taking in the views of Pueblo Colorado, playing multiple games of scrabble with my competitive 83 year old grandmother, visiting the site of my grandfathers grave (he passed away on October 15th 2010) and also seeing his memorial plaque on the veterans bridge at the River walk, and dancing the night away to the hottest local band in Pueblo at the moment "Martini Shot" at the down town "B Street Bash" 

- we have laughed a lot, eaten far too much, and spent time reminiscing and making new memories! It will be sad to leave my family, but I am sure that we will see them all again soon as we have been recruiting them all to Australia! 

 

Next stop - Florida! There will be more frequent blog posts and photos as we embark on the second half of our holiday. Only 2 and a half weeks left! We better get sightseeing!
