Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park

Today, we slept in and then went to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park i n Glenwood Springs, CO. We had to take a gondola up to the top of a mountain where the park was. There is a restuarant at the top and also the Fairy caves are up there. We took a tour of the caves which were famous back in the 1800's. They have stalagtites and stalagmites and are cool to look at.

Who knew that my girls would end up being such dare devils. They had this monster swing that swung people 14000 feet above the canyon floor over the Colorado River. This is taller than the Empire State Building. If you look carefully, Kristin is covering her eyes. Kristin and Amanda are on the right side going up.

They also had another ride that was called the Canyon Coaster that sent us down hill on a roller coaster type thing down the side of the mountain. There are brakes that you use to slow you down. Kristin went down first and then we had to show Amanda how to use the brakes. The last thing the man said was not to stop. So Amanda who started well after Kristin decided that the man told her not to stop, so she went full blast down the mountain and bumped into Kristin twice. I used the brakes most of the way down and I like roller coasters.

We had a nice day. Tim's arm is looking better but he is still under the weather.
