Here are some of the 161 pictures I took on our vacation with the kids. We had a good time. I would highly recommend the US Olympic Training Center to anyone who goes to Colorado Springs, especially in a Summer Olympic year. We were lucky enough to get to see the Men's Gymnastic Team compete in an intersquad challenge. That was beyond cool! I wish we could have had more time at the US Air Force Academy. Bot of those were free as was a trip through the Garden of the Gods. Pikes Peak took my breath away (and not just because it was such thin air). I will be forever amazed that God allows us to witness His creative nature and amazing power. The tea was in interesting experience to saw the least. I would do it again in a heart beat but I don't think most of the girls would. Tent camping is getting harder as I get older and less in shape but the kids did a lot better than I expected them to. Okay, enjoy the pictures.

The swimming pool at the US Olympic Training Center. Okay, one interseting fact that I have to share. They only empty this pool once every four years while the athletes are at the Olympics because it takes something like four weeks to drain it and 8 hours to fill it.

I have never seen a Komodo Dragon. It was kinda cool.
Three of the girls play with an orangutan
One of my girls plays with the baby lowland gorilla
The bird crawled onto the stick that had food. I thought she was going to freak out and drop the stick at first.
And of course, a giraffe.

Can you figure out why I took this picture?
