Aunt Ninee comes to Visit!

Lily LOVES her aunt "Ninee" (as Lily calls her)! This is her second trip out to visit and Lily clung right to her just like the first time! Lily would wake up calling for Ninee in the morning and go to bed calling for Ninee to give her a kiss! These two are very close! We were all excited to have Tiff come and visit us! It was a quick trip, but we still had a great time! Saturday we went down to Colorado Springs and had some fun. We went to Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs, and Garden of the Gods. It was a great weekend!
This is Lily on the trip down to the Springs. This is a very typical sight to see in our car! The sunglasses, aka GaGas, hat and book go almost everywhere with us! She is too cute in this picture and so I had to share!
These are the Anasazi Cliff Dwellilng at Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings! That may sound a little odd, but the park is call the Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings, but they are built by the Anasazi people way back when! It was pretty cool to see! All the doors were a few feet up from the ground with a few holes in the structure to climb up! These people had to be so tiny! Everything was quite small there.






After the Cliff Dwellings, we went into the little town and walked around. It was a fun little town to explore! We had some great pizza and some really yummy ice cream. As we were walking around, Lily feel asleep. She feel asleep with her sippy cup in her mouth. As I went to take the picture, the sippy cup feel to the ground! It is still a great sleeping picture! Unfortunately this is the only picture from Manitou Springs. I will tell you one funny story. They have this store that has mineral water to sample. We went in and were going to sample it thinking that it was spring water, not mineral water! Well, it was disgusting! If only you had seen our faces! We decided that it would be fun to sit and watch people all day at that store! Every time you get the same reaction! Mineral water tastes just like it smells and that is not pleasant at all!
Then we went to Garden of the Gods! Lily drug Tiff around the place having so much fun! It was so much fun to watch the pair walk and explore together!


We had a great weekend with Tiff! We would gladly welcome any visitors that want to come and visit! We have lots of space and lots of fun things to do and explore!

How fun! JM and I went down there for spring break not long after we got married and haven't been back since, but now I'm reminded that we need to go back. Looks like you guys had a great time!
