Glenwood Christopher style

We arrived at our campsite on the colorado river Friday afternoon.  The traffice in Denver was awful, so glad after we passed Vail that the traffic thinned.  Our site was right on the river.  The view below is what we saw when we cooked, sat out or played cards.  Saturday morning we headed for the hot springs pool.  We arrived before 9 am and we didn't leave til almost 5pm.  It was fun, it was hot, it was tiring, but the children had a blast on the diving board and the water slides.  Chris bought them all day passes and the for sure got their monies worth.  We enjoyed watching them go from the slides to the diving board and back again.  Jim and Chrystal drove up in their Camaro and joined us for the afternoon.  Chrystal had never been to Glenwood so it was a treat for her.  the girls were so excited to see uncle Jim and talk him into buying waterslide tickets so he could go with them.  He didn't dissapoint them they got in line and started sliding.  Jim had a little scare, he and Abby were in a double, riding fast and up and down when it flipped in the tube, Jim grabbed Abby and they arrived at the bottom without the tube.  Abby looked up and said,"I'm alright, I'm alright."  Nexzt ride down with Grace Jim had to assure her he wouldn't do any of his tricks, so she went.  We were all burned to a crisp, but it was a lifetime memory for me.  Sunday am, Chris told me he thought about the zip line and decided that he and the girls would go for it.  the first pictures are of the practice session and the last pictures are arriving back across the Colorado river.  It was reported that "zipping" was absolutely fabulous.  I hate heights, no zipping for me.  Sunday night we played 31 outside on the picnic table.  It was fun watching the river rafters, trains and Grace win all the money.(ha ha)  Monday morning came too soon, we knew the trip was coming to an end.  We did our chores and I snapped the funny face photo.  Hated to see it end...
