Tuesday-
Today was our big rafting day! We woke up very early and drove to a legendary fish hatchery. We were excited to discover that there was a full bucket of food with the top off! We ran over, grabbed handfuls, and started tossing it in! The fish loved it until the keepers came and told us to shooo. ;-(
We headed to the rafting place an hour early and got suited up. Then we got to drive to our drop in point and put our sturdy raft into the rushing river! Our guide, Gabe, had quite a lot of trouble getting my dad to listen to his instructions. ;-) He claimed he couldn't hear and kept doing the opposite of the instructions. We rafted for about an hour and then stopped for a fresh fajita lunch. Yum-yum! After lunch we got to raft for over two hours. There were several very exciting rapids, and we got better at working together. ;-) It was so much fun! We finished about 4 but didn't get home until 6 or so. We ate dinner, packed, and enjoyed our nice home.
Wednesday-
Today was our last day. ;-( So sad because we all loved Colorado! We went on a hike in the morning, then packed up the house, and then went to town for some awesome lunch at a Chinese restaurant. We saw the Budweiser Clydesdales and then started driving. We made it to an old, small town where there was a cool gold mine. The owner gave us a tour, and he reminded us so much of Leonard. ;-) There was a little girl on the tour named Fiona who was so cute and responded to everything the guide told us. She was only 5. After the tour, we went gold panning and fed the tame, adorable chipmunks! We went to dinner at a place in town but left because it was too expensive. We rushed to the airport to make our flight and discovered that it had been delayed 3 hours! We ate dinner and chilled, working on things until our plane left at 12:30. Joe and I didn't make it home until 4 in the morning. What an adventure!
