Colorado Springs

Sarah, Russ and I are in Colorado Spring Colorado having the time of our life. We arrived on Thursday afternoon and just hung out waiting for the Parisian's to get here. They arrived at around 10:30 Houston time. Sarah was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. On Friday morning, we got up and ate breakfast and then drove to Santa's Workshop at the North Pole. We had so much fun we got there when it opened and left when it closed. Sarah talked to Santa about what she wanted for Christmas and she gave him froot loops to give to the reindeer. Then we went on every ride in the park at least 2 times each. Russ went on most of the rides with her and I took lots of pictures. She even went up the candy cane slide and slid down at least 3 times. We went on the tallest ferris wheel, cuz it starts way high on the mountain. We fed deer and goats and then went on the carousel and the train. All in all we have a fabulous time. On Saturday, we got up and went up Pikes Peek. We rode the Cog Railroad and Sarah loved the train and scenery. She was amazed at eveything she could see out the window. She fell asleep close to the top and when they opened the doors to let us out she woke up to a very cold wind. I on the otherhand was not feeling so good and had to sit down and drink water and eat a little protein. One of the EMT's up at the top said that a person looses 1 liter of water on the way up. We stayed up at the top and took pictures and then came down. Sarah slept most of the way down wheich was good. When seh got up we fed her some beef jerky and apple and she was ready to go. We went to eat at a place called Mo's Diner and it really looked like a diner. In the evening we ate at Mimi's Cafe. We have had wonderful service and great food the whole time we have been here. Tomorrow will be the ZOO and the giraffes. I can't wait. Pictures will have to wait until we get home.
