Finally

These are the pictures that I promised from mine and Chris' trip to Colorado. We had the privilege of staying at the beautiful home of Bruce and Donna McDonnall, and we want to immensely thank them for their hospitality. We had a great time!
Finally in COLORADO

Boring drive, lots of nothing.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
Here is a Buffalo that was staring me down. Dont worry dad, I didnt get this close, I used my zoom!
This is my good-looking boyfriend, Ladies, HE'S TAKEN--NO TOUCHY!
This is a view of the Sangre de Christo mountains, which are in front of the McDonnall's house. A long time ago, there was a Mexican Conquistador that looked at these mountains during sunrise and he was reminded of the "blood of Christ", which is what Sangre de Christo stands for.
The McDonnall's named their place "Sangre Sunrise" due to the Sangre de Christo mountains.
I got kinda excited about the snow, so I thought I would make a snow angel!
Finished product

So, we went to this place called "Bishop's Castle". This place is HUGE! It is built by this crazy man. He is building it himself but the whole place does not meet any type of building code, so it is extremely shaky and wobly. This man has a grudge out against the government or something. He has built this house in honor of his son who died several years ago. As you can see, there are very high towers adn some people climb all the way to the top, KNOWING that this thing is not up to code, idiots! Also, if you take a close look at the front of the house at the top, there is a dragon's head pertruding from the house. We were told that this head is connected to the fireplace inside the house, so when this man starts a fire in the house, the smoke comes out of the dragon's mouth.
So, there was thiss really tall chair that this crazy man built. It kinda looks like a king's chair. I had to climb up into this chair.

This is the view we had behind us from the shooting range. You just cant take bad pictures here!

Here is Chris with the shotgun.

This is a .45 pistol that I shot. This thing has a lot of kick, so Mr. Bruce said it was best that I sit down and shoot it.

Hey Babe,
Great post. Yeah, the dragon's head chimney is made of hammered bed pans and food trays from the hospital in Pueblo. Honestly folks the castle was scary. I refused to go in it.

And again, y'all don't mess with Bo, she is a good shot.
