Pike's Peak

My brother John came into town this week from California for a visit.  He's so much fun and I'm glad we got to meet up.  We went up Pike's Peak (on a train) and it was really cool.  The fall colors were just starting to come out and it was really pretty.  There was snow up at the top, but it was a nice sunny day and not that cold.  Here we are (John, Matthew, Grant, me, Anna).

 
 Here we are going up on the train - Lexie (John's lady-friend), Anna, John and Grant

Great views at the top!


 We got lots of donuts.  They even had fudge covered donuts!

 And there was snow up there.  Some of it was slushy and messy.

 Going back down the mountain.  Why does Matthew look so worried.


 The aspen trees were changing color.  So pretty.
It was so fun having John and Lexie come visit us in Colorado (and so nice to be close enough for family visits).  We tried real hard not to bore them!!  Thanks for visiting guys!  Come back again soon!

It is beautiful. On the ride down, did Matthew have too many donuts? Did everyone make Lexie carry all the stuff? Did Grant take the photo?
