The Flowers Explore - Manitou Springs and their naturally carbonated Mineral Springs

Theresa, the kids, and I are ready to go on all sorts of new adventures! And why not start with something we've never explored in Colorado. Historic Manitou Springs!



Manitou Springs has all sorts of interesting things we could see, but today there's one thing we're going to focus on. Scattered around the town are different mineral springs, and they're naturally carbonated! Pop Pop comes to visit Manitou Springs almost daily, and when he told us about the water that comes out of the ground that is already fizzy, we knew we had to go check it out!
Jerome Wheeler is one of Manitou Springs most famous residents, and was instrumental in promoting the town's mineral water. People have been coming to this town for hundreds of years to take advantage of the healing properties of the waters.

Pizza at Home - Pop Pop's Thin Crust Pizza

Happy Sunday! We're in Colorado visiting family for a few weeks, but we're continuing our Sunday pizza tradition! And since it's been so long since we've cooked for anyone other than ourselves, why not take some special requests. 

For Sunday pizza, I asked Pop Pop what kind of pizza I should make, and immediately he knew he wanted thin crust pizza. What about toppings? 

Pop Pop - There's no way to make my pizza wrong, but I like lots of meat on it. 

Sounds great! Let's get started!

Pizza at Home - Mom's Meatloaf Pizza

It has been a bit of a crazy week! More on that in a future post, but we certainly can't forget about Pizza Day! It's tradition! 

One of the fun things about being home in Colorado is getting to eat all the classic meals that I grew up eating. One of those is meatloaf, and I figured, why not try to take it and turn it into a pizza! We'll see how it turns out!

Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream

Time for a Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream taste test! It's the 50th anniversary of Fruity Pebbles being released and there's a ton of new stuff coming out. 


I love that the ice cream container matches the colors on the box so well. And they could have done a regular red ring around the top, but they chose to do an orange and black pattern, just like Fred's outfit. We'll be trying the ice cream today along with Fruity Pebbles cereal.
