Went to church in cheyenne today.  The ward was a little cooky.  It was testimony meeting and there were some interesting comments made-anyway-We also checked out the State Capitol on the way out of town.  I got the feeling it was just a nice down home government center.  I didn't get the feeling of "big city" trying to intimidate in Cheyenne.  I actually quite liked the whole state, although there are areas that are way too remote for me.  For instance-yeasterday we almost ran out of gas going from redbird to Orin, because it shows there are town on the map.  When we got to where they said the town was on the map all we could see was one house or one ranch.  In fact, the sign @ Shawnee Wy, shows the population as 1.  What?!  Why even spend the money on the sign!

PM We drove to Aurora, CO and then took a nice nap after we checked into the hotel.  IN the evening I scouted out a nice trail system to run on for tomorrow.

AM got up and took a nice run through the cherry creek cpillway and into the cherry creek state park.  I still feel a little sluggish but started to get the cobwebs out about 45 minutes into the run.  I come back a different way and got lost in the town.  I finally cut through a golf course and found the hotel.  It ended up being a very long day this day, so the amount of miles was a little too long, but I want to get a long one in before the Bryce Half.

We went to Water World from 10AM-5 PM.  It is supposedly one of the biggest water parks in the U.S., and it was fun.  The kids had a great time.  It was definitely what they had been looking forward to all trip.  IT did start to rain around 5PM, so we left to get ready for the Rockies game.

We got a late start on the Rockies game anyway, but then there was an accident on the freeway.  By the time we got around the accident and found parking we only ogt to watch the last 3 innnings of the game.  Thhe kids were tired anyway, so it worked out okay.  I was ultra-mad that we paid good money for 3 innings of baseball, but whatever. 

On the way to the hotel, we got a flat tire.  I wsa tired and cranky and the kids were tired.  It ended up being a great experience, though because I thought the jack was up as high as it could go and still couldn't get the tire on.  I took a break and ask for a little help from above and the jack gave me 1/4 inch more.  Just enough to get the tire on, so off we went to the hotel.

AM We decided we had had enough of our vacaiton, so we started home today.  We stopped to see the Denver temple and get a book at the bookstore for Lex and then we wer off.  The drive thourgh Vail and Copper Canyon was amazing.  I didn't like how the towns set in the bottom of those canyons though.  If there was a flood, it would not be good. 

Stopped in Rifle CO, for a lunch and a handful of redbox movies to keep the kids occupied.

PM got to Richfield by 6:00 PM.  We stoopped just long enough gas and away went for home. 

Got home by 8:00 PM it was great to be home.

8 AM Out and back to the bridge today.  Today it was "hot hot" by 8, so I have to get up earlier if I am going to go any further.  I am must have gotten used to weather in WY and CO!

 PM Went to the washington city center for treadmill today.  Watched a little TV and ran for 30 minutes.  It was okay, but I don't want to have to get on the treadmill every day.

AM Ran an easy day with Laurie and the team today.  We were @ LV park.  I tried going barefoot, but my feet got so cold from the water on the grass my feet wnet numb. 

We played a mean game of ultimate fris after practice.

AM No run today.  We stayed in Hatch last night after getting everything prepared for the reunion.  Went to the Gleave reunion.  Joe, dad, and I cooked for the 300+.  We did nine dutch ovens fool of potatos, grilled chicken, burgers, and dogs.  It was hard work, but it was fun to work with those two.  Dad is still recovering from his knee replacement.  He said the second one has been easier than the first.  He is 5 weeks out as of yesterday, so he is out of the real pain.  It will be nice to get him back out on the golf course and on his bike again.  He said he is up to 10 miles on the stationary bike every day. 

PM got home at 11PM, so I am going to skip my meetings tomorrow.
