Colorado Chronicles pt 3

This was our second pad. It was huge! ;-)

Saturday-

Today was a day of relaxing. We slept in, we walked, we explored the cute ski town, found cool $3 shirts, went out to eat, went on another walk, ate Italian food, went wine tasting, and played games at home. Then we had a legendary pool game, and we were able to beat my parents! We came up from the bottom, turned the game around, and won! ;-)

We found this house that looked more like a castle. It was 3 stories high, built almost entirely of stone, and fitted with old-fashioned, top of the line appliances and decorations. Like the castle in Beauty and the Beast.

Sunday-

Today we went on an exciting, 2 hour speed boat road, whipping around the expansive lake in a neighboring town. Everyone got to drive! ;-) I love going fast.

After that we drove to the famous ski town of Vail. It reminded me of the town of Switzerland and was very clean, bright, and beautiful. It reminded me of something from a storybook, and the houses were massive.

We went to Walmart for some top of the line fishing equipment ;-). After some relaxing we took the breathtaking journey into town through the forest at dusk. I kept thinking a bear was going to leap out of the bushes and get me!!! We explored the town till late and then had the final pool competition. My dad lost when he hit in the last, black ball and it hung back from the edge an inch! Quite exciting!

Monday-

Today was the day for fishing. After climbing through the forest, we found a suitable location. We set out our stuff and then proceeded to set up our lines. My dad proclaimed that he was going to become a fisherman, was going to buy some nice supplies, and go fishing often. So we started fishing. Casting and pulling in, casting and pulling in. We didn't catch more than a few reeds so we packed up and headed to spot #2. We picked it because 2 guys and a little boy had already caught 5 fish and had only been there for 30 min. We were pumped. We matched their lines and waited. While we waited, they proceeded to catch 3 additional fish. They said, "I just can't drop down my line without it falling into a fish's mouth!" That didn't make us feel so good, especially when we discovered that they were using a 12 inch. toddlers fishing pool to do half of their catching. We felt pretty pitiful, and my dad took back what he said about wanting to be a fisherman.

After a big day of fishing, we ate some dollar tacos, went in the jacuzzi, and watched Dance your Ass off and laughed a lot! Once it was dark, we set off 37 stellar fireworks! We made quite a light show, especially the strobe fireworks, woo-hoo. We tried to catch a bear but didn't have any luck. ;-(
