Cruz's 15th Birthday Part 2- Focus on the Family, Air Soft Shooting Range, Climbing Gym, & In N Out Burgers

After spending the morning at Pikes Peak, we stopped for lunch at Chipotle.  Along with In-N-Out, it was another request of his for this trip.  We had never eaten at one before and we loved it.

Next, we visited Focus on the Family.  It was the first place I researched when I realized we would be visiting Colorado Springs.  I have always wanted to go there!! 
 
I was a little teary eyed when I walked in the door.  Focus on the Family has been such a blessing to me over the years.  I was so happy to be there! 

First we explored the kids area.  It is fabulous!!! 



They had a wonderful Elisabeth Elliot exhibit showcasing her life and ministry.

We loved the Narnia area.
 
 
We walked through the whole building and enjoyed seeing it all.  We also spent time in the book store before leaving.

Next, we visited Lock N Load for a few rounds of air soft shooting. 

 



 

Our next stop was at a climbing gym.  Both of my boys love climbing! We spent a few hours there.

Cruz wanted Raising Cane's for his birthday supper, but it was closed because it was Memorial Day. Instead, he chose to go back to In-N-Out for a second night of burgers.  We really did like it!

Lastly, here are all of the badges and pins he collected on this trip.
