We were having a lazy day 3 of vacation.
Spent some time at Rock Ledge Ranch with cousins.
Then they needed to head home.
Daddy-O and I decided to take the kids to Garden of the Gods.
Wow! You would have thought we were going to torture the kids or something.
The thought they were going to miss some time with cousins
quickly turned us into vacation ruining parents!

We bribed them with time in the gift shop!
And found photo opportunities on the balcony.
We made it through the gift shop, with minimal tears.
Mostly cause Daddy O threw some money out and let the kids buy a couple of things.
Plus, there was the purchase of fudge!
Plus, there was the purchase of fudge!
Then the promise, we would only drive through the Garden of the Gods, to make the torture go faster.
It didn't take long for them to begin to appreciate the beauty of the park.
By the time we arrived at Balance Rock, they were ready to get out and explore.
Just the perfect amount of rock scrambling.
I think they quickly came to believe their parents weren't the wet blankets of vacation history.
