Day Trip Idea

If you have never been to visit Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, it is a terrific day drip idea for young kids. It would probably be the most appropriate for ages 3-10, although I have seen older kids there having a great time as well. The drive from Superior is only about 1 1/2 hours. Remember not to get stuck in Denver rush hour traffic!

Directions


When you enter the welcome center you will find a great bookstore, coffee shop, free magazines and movies to watch, a tour of Focus on the Family and Whit's End. Whit's End is the big attraction for the kids. It is in the basement of the welcome center. There is a 3 story tunnel slide, movies, an indoor play place, a huge fighter jet to play in, a Narnia discovery room, a puppet theater and stage on which to perform, a reading area and a soda shop. It's a fairly inexpensive lunch of hotdogs, pizza, ice cream, etc., or just bring your lunch and eat outside on a pretty day. You can easily spend hours here and your kids will probably be begging to come back.



Download an episode of Adventures in Odyssey (Dec. 26, 2006 post) to listen to during the drive. Adventures in Odyssey stories take place in Whit's End, so the kids would be able to listen to an adventure, become familiar with the characters and then actually arrive at Whit's End afterwards. Plus, it will entertain them for the drive.

Let me know if you plan to give it a try! Maybe I'll join you!

Launching Your Kids For Life - Bob and Cheryl Reccord
I rarely read "how-to"parenting books. I have always found them to be repetitive or only suited to one type of child or ideal situation. But, this book surprisingly scores 5 stars on my list. It was full of helpful info and admirable insights on raising kids intentionally to be "on mission" and always seeking God's big picture and plan for their lives. Way to go Bob and Cheryl Reccord! It's a Christian parenting book that is very different from all the others. It's not another book about how to discipline, but a book about how to open your kids eyes to the world that God has placed around them - how to be intentional about guiding a child's heart towards the Father.
