Garden of the Gods

What can I say besides I think this picture turned out great! The only other thing that would've made it better - if Pike's Peak wouldn't have been cloud covered in the background. I suppose you could go there and never see the Peak because of the clouds. Had I to do over, I would've been there a few mornings before and taken these pictures when it wasn't cloud covered. Oh, well, I guess I can't have everything picture perfect! I am glad that I walked around the corner of the building and found this flag at the perfect place.

Ladies Night

Meet Brooke (left) and Bekka. They came to visit me last week while their parents went to the hospital to visit someone. Actually, Brooke is in my classroom and their mom teaches in the upper preschool room. If you can't tell by the picture, Brooke is a fireball, but that's what I love about her. You should've heard her yell when she saw the ice cream making its way out of the freezer. We had lots of fun together. Bekka loved the swing and wanted to go higher and faster all the time. We played with beach balls but Bekka discovered a spider and was not too keen on staying in the grass. Brooke, on the other hand, had to get as close to it as she could. I do believe she would have picked it up, but I protested on that part of it. Anyway, it was a joy to have the ladies visit. Bekka wanted to be sure that Ginger was not around while she was here. Poor dog had to take her nap in the bedroom. sniff sniff Anyway, it was a great evening together although poor Brooke was confused at first because she's used to seeing me at school and not at home, but she was fine after a few minutes of crocodile tears.
