I forgot to talk about Pike's Peak. On Sunday we went on a cog train up Pikes Peak. That is 14,110 feet in the air. The cog is a type of rail that moves the train up and down. The trip was about 1 1/2 hours up. It was around 34 degrees on the ground and when we got to the top it was in the low teens with the winds blowing about 35 miles per hour. Burr it was cold. What they forget to tell you as you go up is that you lose a liter of water and you should drink lots. As we got to the top, my sugars went down and I began to see stars in my eyes. Russ ran around trying to get my sugars up and keep me from fainting. Sarah hated being in the cold. She wrapped herself in my cape and wanted to go home. The ride down was even worse. We all started to feel bad and Sarah thank goodness slept most of the way. I have pictures but think we will not be going up Pikes Peak next year.
After we got back down, the kids and Russ and David, went rock climbing. They had a great time and Sarah was a great sport. She loved it.
Pictures to come.
