Started our morning at this park!

Picnic

Next stop after a hotel room break- Ouray!

Another hot springs!!

The Ouray Hot Springs!

Jenna here- she was sad! Kind of made me laugh! She failed the pool swim test!

Amelia and Ava comforted her for awhile and then decided to try out the slides

Here comes Ava!

No worries! Jenna passed the swim test on the 2nd try!

Happy boy at the hot springs!

Leaving the hot springs and a 35 mile ride back to our hotel in Montrose.

Day 4 - West!

Of course we had to stop in Target in Colorado Springs to pick up the latest Avengers movie which was released today.

We then headed to the park to meet Bern for a picnic. We got sprinkled on several times while trying to picnic. See the panic of getting twins, Drew, food, and gear out of the water path?!

We then headed west into the mountains.

First stop- Royal Gorge Bridge just outside of Canon City. Here Amelia is peeking around the strategically placed fence blocking our view.

There’s the bridge, and all the smaltz..
