After a week of sightseeing, we were all pretty exhausted! So, on the seventh day, we had a relaxing morning at the house and waited until the afternoon after the boys napped to check out one last place... a wolf sanctuary!
We signed up for the 4pm tour, and while we waited, the boys kept asking us to take pictures of them next to this wolf statue...
Here is the sweet story of how the sanctuary came about...
We had a great guide that told us a story about each wolf...
Ben was my little model during the tour...
Such incredible creatures! The black wolf on the right has a link to Hollywood... his uncle was in the Twilight movies!
The boys can't go anywhere without a snack break!
Opa and Ben leaving the sanctuary...
That night, opa gave the boys a lesson in cards!
They were catching on pretty quickly!
The day before we headed home, we decided to have a relaxing day at the house...
With the exception of a little hike, minus mommy and Gabrielle who both stayed behind...
I adore this picture...
The boys came back with pretty flowers for mommy! :)
On day 9, we packed up the car and started our long journey back to Texas. But, first we took a few pictures in front of the cabin...
Thank you, oma and opa, for an amazing vacation we'll never forget!
One last picture of Cripple Creek on our way out...
Potty training on a road trip is a big pain!
Gabrielle rode back with us and was a huge help with entertaining the boys! They all wore each other out!
When we reached Amarillo, TX, we couldn't help but to make a small detour to see the famous Cadillac Ranch!
Walking towards the Cadillacs...
In place of spray paint, we gave Gabrielle and the boys twistable crayons to draw with. :)
The boys saw other people drawing on the cars with spray paint, so Ben was really excited when he found a can left behind...
I think they really enjoyed themselves!
The boys participated in more crayon graffiti...
Daddy participated in the vandalism too...
We certainly couldn't go to Cadillac Ranch without leaving our mark!
Time to get back on the road!
Too cool!!
An iPad, a Kindle, and an iPhone gave us moments of much needed silence. We made it home in 15 hours!
