here's a pic of Cady and Kailie on the deck before we all left... love this pic.
here is the Hornbeck homesead as seen from in front of the dugout...
Me & Cady in front of the cabin....can't you almost imagine Laura Ingalls peeking out the window?
snapped this pic while looking through the window... all the history...
curious little chipmunk kept popping his head up looking at us... didn't seem afraid at all.
Later that afternoon, we all met back up at the cabin so we could make our yearly trek up Pikes Peak via the Cog railway. We discussed driving, but figured the cog allows everyone to enjoy the view.
besides... who in their right mind would want to be driving on this kind of road with NO SIDE-RAILS.... crazy.
arriving at the Peak
this year was something we hadn't experienced there before... it was so incredibly foggy that we could hardly see in front of us. and cold?? brrrr... it was very chilly... glad I brought my hoodie.
Me & Cady
Sherri & Kailie.... and John in front of the peak sign for 2008
view of our railcar... no zoom was used. this is how close we were and can hardly see.
the greyish stump just to the left of the pic is a Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine. it has been growing for 2,040 years.
on the way down the Peak... it was dark, we all were tired.... I caught a little nap on George's shoulder... Kailie (lizard girl) and Cady (monkey chick) were having a little fun.
then it happened... the funniest thing of all.... someones shriveled up weiner came rolling down the aisle right under Sherri Lynn's seat... OMG.... we got the giggles.... "attack of the rolling weiner"... LOL
these pics were actually taken on the way up... John on the left... me and Sherri on the right.
