Day 2

(This is the story of our vacation to Colorado.  I'm putting up a new post each day from our trip last week.)

This morning started with the sun busting through the front door at 5:38 Colorado time.  About 6:15 Caleb got up, which is about right on schedule for the time he gets up at home.   The boys ate some breakfast and got dressed and walked and played at the campground.  I got up too after I laid in bed a little longer and we went to explore the little area of Canon City.  We went to a pretty city park and walked along the river.  We had lunch at Subway and then went to pick up a few things at the local Walmart. 

Everyone told us how they thought it'd be cooler here than in Texas, but it was still 100 degrees on our car temperature reading this afternoon.

Back at the cabin, Caleb changed to go swimming.  After the swim time we went over to borrow a grill and Daddy cooked burgers and hot dogs while Caleb rented a "pedal car."  We had our supper at the picnic table by our cabin and then went for a drive.

We went down to see the Royal Gorge.  It was absolutely breathtaking...pictures do not do it justice.  As I was leaning over the fence looking down at the river below my husband came and grabbed my hand.  He said I'd come down after you if you fall but I'd take a different route than that.

Then we went to Sky Line Drive, which is a one-way road up a mountain and you can look out over the city. Caleb said it looked like we were looking at a map.

Tomorrow is white water rafting.  I'm so nervous about it!  I'm not sure why.  I've never done it before and I'm afraid we'll flip or one of us will fall out of the raft.

Bed time for us!

Have a day of blessings!
