i was so excited to finally go up pikes peak but was nervous about the drive. when the hills suggested taking the train, i was thrilled. it went slow enough & the windows are down the majority of the time so i didn't feel nauseous once. whoop whoop!
every kid loves a good train ride :)
the girls adore having their grandparents around.
despite all 4 adults in the midst of explaining the concept of gum, they both swallowed it pretty promptly. :/ guess i should have been giving them gum before...
the views were unbelievable. it was incredible to be on the mountain after staring at it everyday for 6 months.
as you reach the timber line, the scenery abruptly changes. it's pretty awesome.

we were very prepared with coats & jackets for everyone but it didn't end up being as cold as we thought it would be.

ellery fell fast asleep just before we reached the summit & cossette literally could not walk straight at the top. haha i kept thinking she was just being goofy but she really couldn't do it.
