We made it into Colorado and last night we stayed with Stephanie's friend, Elizabeth and her family. It was so nice for the boys to play with her girls and to just hang out and visit good friends. From there we went to play in the Garden of the Gods, which is a red rock area created more than 300 million years ago. The boys were in their glory, climbing every rock formation they could.
So far the car and scamp have held up well but we have only made it through the foothills of the Rockies. We have been staying in RV parks, which we would usually avoid but this time of year the campgrounds are closed and we are the only ones in the park. We did get quite stuck in the mud and it seemed we may have to stay long term because Stephanie and the boys weren't able to push it out, however the park owner was eager to help us out.
Since we got into our site a bit early so we went to check out Royal Gorge—the second highest suspension bridge in the world at 1,053 feet! It sounds high but to actually be on it gives “high” a whole new dimension. Yes, we had to make our contribution by spitting and peeing in the Arkansas river below. Today we are going back to Royal Gorge to take the aerial tram and incline railway. They also have the Royal Rush Skycoaster—the world's highest skycoaster—which is a freefall tower propellling you over the gorge 1300 feet high! Chris and Eli are thinking they are brave enough to do it! Finn would love to do it but since he isn't tall enough he is planning on just pulling the switch.
