Colorado Update

We drove to Colorado ten days ago and have had a BUSY and FUN time!  We have been to places that I have never seen before which has been great!  We have visited Tiny Town, Red Rocks, Mueller State Park, Cherry Creek State Park, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Cripple Creek, Apex Recreation Center (indoor water park) and so much more!  We have camped, hiked, biked, swam, saw fireworks in the rain, and went to many parks!  We had a lot of family in town for my cousin J'lyn's wedding and that was neat to be a part of!  We have had wonderful visits with family and friends, attending the wedding, and celebrated two birthday's (Sharon and pre-Graydon) - and yes, we have tired kids!   The highlight of my trip so far was whitewater rafting down the Clear Creek river (hardly a creek - they describe it as steep, narrow, and technical - and it was)!  The rest of our trip will hopefully be more mellow!

Our hike to the top of Grouse Mountain in Mueller State Park, where we camped (if you can call staying in a 5 star 5th wheel camping - it wasn't very rough).
