End of summer adventures with the family

Since IM didn't get to go with us to Michigan, we've tried to take a few day trips on weekends this fall.  A couple weeks ago (maybe it was even Labor Day weekend?) we decided to go to the Art Festival in Manitou Springs for the day.  We never actually made it to the actual festival...but we had a lot of fun in the Springs...here's our travel log with commentary, of course!

This is what happened when IM said--"hey, have we ever gone up that street before?"  And by up, he meant up...yes, that is The Girl huffing and puffing in the background.

This building says "old depot".  Interesting.  It looks like it is an apartment building now.

 As seen on Zillow....IM is intrigued by this house.  I am not, as it has no off street parking and is on a giant hill...but it is surprisingly larger than it looks!

What would a visit to Manitou Springs be without some spring water?  Actually The Boy was sticky for some reason(who knows) and this was a convenient place to clean up

Look!  A snowman in August!  This was entertaining...and a little hot when touched.

Again...these two will pose with anything.  I mean, what is this?  Sculpture, a bike rack?

Ah, the "I can't find my keys" gag.  Never gets old.  Luckily (for him) they were in his pocket all along.
