Have you visited the giant Scheels store off Interquest Parkway? We finally went yesterday and our kids rode the giant ferris wheel inside the store for $1 each. We checked out their clothes, shoes, home goods, sporting goods, candy store, fudge shop, snack bar, ice cream counter, toy store and mini bowling alley. What a place!!

🐎 Have you been looking for a spot to check out some horse riding and roping? We visited Latigo, out in Falcon, this morning and enjoyed lunch from their on-site restaurant, the Buck & Blue's Grill. You have to try their homemade mud pie! We enjoyed our food to-go and sat upstairs at a table overlooking the rodeo arena, we observed kids competing in horse slolom and roping while we tried their brisket quesadilla and chicken club sandwich with bacon.

The Latigo events center also has a large horse supply store and historic memorabilia on the walls. Recommend! ⭐

The new Long Neck Cafe, gift shop and new exit area of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo opened on Thursday! We enjoyed exploring its brand new admissions area, seeing their 200 sculptures and getting a first look at the future giraffe center that will open later this summer.

We love this zoo situated on the mountain and also love visiting the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, built high above the zoo overlooking Colorado Springs.

📚 Remember the Pizza Hut "Book It" program? They're offering it again this summer to kids ages Pre-K through 6th grade. I loved those little pizzas and I remember those big plastic red cups! 🥤

🍕 I'm so glad Pizza Hut is bringing some of their stores back to their original look and style!
