manitou

 We headed to Manitou Springs last weekend after Sverre researched this Manitou Incline and thought it would be a good idea for me to climb:)  It's this super stair stepper steep climb that climbs 2000 ft in one mile, all on wooden steps and is pretty awesome

 at the top - it was dang hard!! and really beautiful

 There's the picture of it, bottom to top - then there is a great trail-running trail to go down - if you live in Colorado, you should definitely put this on your list~

Then we headed to Cave of the Winds - very cool as well~

 we've so got to work on Tait's picture taking skills:)

 and Here's what the kids did while I was heart-attacking it up the mt. -went the to Manitou Mansion and played in trees~

a really fun and beautiful day~
