Last weekend our family went with Mick's family on vacation down to Mesa Verde. Mick and I and our kids had never been there before. I just loved seeing it all. I wish we would have had more time to hike and see more of the things there.
Mick took his camera too, so I actually exist on this vacation!
"Photo Phylis" doing what she loves to do - take pictures.
This was taken at the Spruce Tree House. This one was fun because there were a lot more places you could actually hike around and look in
Emma swiped Ginger's sunglasses. She is always telling me, "take my picture" mom! She poses everywhere.
This was taken at Balcony house. They were built in the cliffs. You hike down from the top and then have to climb a 32 ft ladder to get up to them. The kids did great.
Balcony House behind us.
Balcony House - There was a tunnel 12" by 18" to crawl through.
This was the last ladder to come up and out. There were a bunch of stairs chipped away out of the side of the cliff with only poles and chains between those and a huge drop off. (Sometimes there was a weak little fence there). I was so scared that one of my kids were going to fall. I was right behind Emma and had a tight grip on the hood of her sweatshirt.
Bet in front of the Spruce Tree House
Spruce Tree House - You could actually climb down in a Kiva at this place.
The girls did an amazing job hiking everywhere. Ty was a mountain goat and was long gone by this point.
This was taken at Hovenweep which is a different location than Mesa Verde. Tyler had gotten sick the night before this and threw up all night. Poor little man. Mick and I took turns sitting in the car with him. So it was just the girls on this hike along with Dave and Ginger and their family.
