Mom for a Visit

We went for a 2 mile hike in Palmer park to stretch out our legs.
It was beautiful Scenery and cool weather.
 Another day we headed to the Zoo, Thanks to a friend that got us free tickets.
Mum's been there for Christmas lights but never to see the whole zoo. 
 Olivia loves showing her around.
 Mum even splurged and let her feed the birds.  Olivia loves the birds.

We went into the learning center and Olivia feed a Lizard Dragon.  She also saw a Fruit Bat that they fed.
We then went into the Monkey room and this is what we hear for 5 minutes.

 It has been my mom's goal to hike Pikes peak and we finally did it.  It was long and hard but she did it.
 This was the first mountain we had to hike to get to the peak.  What a view.
 After this picture we went inside and ate donuts.  At the top of the peak there is a gift shop/restaurant and the donuts are amazing.  You can only get them there.
 This was taken on the way up a very steep hill.

If you can ever hike a 14000 foot mountain, it is worth the sweat and pain when you get to the top.
The next day we went to Elitch Park.  We had a blast but never go when you have a head cold.  It never ends up well.  We had a great two weeks together.
