Sunday morning Armando, Mom, and I all got up early to go get Tammy and Judy at their hotel! On our way we made a quick stop by McDonald's for breakfast, then headed off to Pike's Peak! When we arrived they told us it was going to be half the price it usually is becaue we could only go 14 miles up due to weather! Shortly after entering the park we started seeing little patches of snow! The further we drove, the more we saw! Once we got to Glen Cove which was the stopping point there was over a foot of snow on the ground! We were all really excited! It was beautiful!!!!! There was also a fox that came right up to us... the workers said he was always there, and that his name was Wilbur! We took pictures, then went inside to do a little shopping, and while we were I looked outside to see it snowing like crazy! The roads were covered as we headed back down! Armando did great driving though! We decided to go on to Cripple Creek. While we were there we had lunch and due to all of the snow that was falling we decided we should leave before dark! As we headed down the mountain the roads were covered with snow, and it was hard to see. The wipers were frozen and not removing the ice and snow very well from the windows!!! It was beautiful but scary! We had many, many laughs on our way back down! We stopped at Walmart and printed pictures once we got back to Colorado Springs then went home for the night, where we had 3 to 4 inches of snow! It was a perfect snowy day that I am so glad I got to share not only with Armando but my Mom and family!!! It was definetly a day we all will never forget!
