Our family hike was amazing yesterday. We saw lots of wildlife (mostly birds and lizards). No one got hurt, on the way back we saw a Golden Eagle. When we got back to our campsite Mom and I exercised. We probably looked very funny because we were running in circles and then doing exercises in the middle of the road. Dad took Nathan and Garrett mountain biking. For dinner we went to Moms friend, Marie's house, the dinner was amazing. Thanks so much for having us!
Today (6/6/14) we went to Cheyenne Canon park, and hiked 2 trails, the Mt. Cutler Trailhead and Silver Cascade Falls. Luckily we saw no bears but the view from the mountain was amazing. We packed a picnic and ate it near a stream the ran through the mountain. Dad took us on a scenic drive but... it was more like a terror drive, with a one lane road, and a sheer cliff off the side of the road. Mom was freaked out, and so was I, I also found a rock with fools gold, and pieces of crystal in granite.
That afternoon we toured the Olympic training center. It was AMAZING! We saw people training for the Olympic trials, when we went to the gymnastics room the men's national gymnastic team was training they are so strong! We also saw the wrestling room (Dad loved this room, he was revisiting his childhood moments) , weight lifting (The girls were amazing they were lifting huge weights), and the shooting range (Shooters have to run to lower their heart beats so they can shoot between beats.) . My favorite place though was the pool. It was a 50meter Olympic size pool, there were lots of people swimming in it, I probably saw some future Olympians training. The other fact we learned was that they train like 4-5 hours a day 6 days a week! Now we are eating dinner, and tomorrow we are heading out.
I would have been in the back seat with my eyes and ears closed!! Isn't this time of year great out there!!! No humidity and just great temps and you can see so far!!!
