Gudrun here this time! I guess Dad and I will be taking turns adding things to blog whilst they are visiting.
So today we hit a dinosaur museum where Maya and Sage purchased the dino's featured in photo! We are all trying to brush up on our dinosaur names as we play a lot of guess the animal in the car and include the extinct kind.....all desperately trying to outsmart the others!
The other big trip today was to summit the top of Pikes Peak ...a mere 14,100 feet! Well ok we didn't hike it but the drive was challenging enough...especially with me at the wheel!
A wee touch of vertigo as I drove up the outside parts of the road...it didn't help that Maya kept saying how scared she was and closing her eyes and that Sage pointed out how we could easily drop off the edge! Anyway we made it to the top and had a very quick photo taken as we were all finding it hard to breathe (half the amount of oxygen as at sea level).
We made our descent in low gear and I got the approval for good mountain driving from the ranger as he tested to see how hot the brakes were!
Here are the matching knitted caps!
Totally stunning scenery and the aspens were in all their glory!
We head off tomorrow for a five day trip around Colorado and also to Grand Canyon...will keep you posted.
