Fun in the Springs

Nattie and I had so much fun on our little road trip to Colorado Springs this week :) I had a flashback to a movie on the drive down there: Nattie was singing along (loudly) to her iPod, and I had new CD's in the car stereo and was also singing along (loudly) - then all of a sudden it occurred to me that we were on our way to the scene in "RV" where mom, dad and the two kids are all singing along to their own music....

Our favorite part was horseback riding in the Garden of the Gods on Tuesday afternoon. Our reservation was for 5pm so the weather had cooled off. Poor Nattie was petrified - it was her first time on a horse - but by the end of the ride she was yelling "Mama, this totally rocks!".

In other news, we went to the animal shelter down in Golden this morning to donate some blankets and animal food, and left 3 hours later having adopted a 6-month-old puppy! We're picking her up tomorrow after she has been spayed. Let the fun begin!
