Day 5

Today was our first full day in Colorado Springs and we spent it at Gardens of the gods. Today started off at 6:30 AM! I know the other day I talked how much I already did not like alarms in summer but, when they are set half and hour then you normally get up for school it’s just to early. I honestly don’t know how the rest of my family even managed to get one foot out of bed because after the alarm went off I just went back to sleep for another 20 minutes. After rushing to get dressed and ready for the day I headed downstairs to join the rest of the family in the breakfast area. We left the hotel at about 7:30 and we drove for about 15 minutes to garden of the gods. My mom went and did a yoga class for an hour well my dad thought Zoe and me Wisconsin style Euchre. After that we we started on our hike for the day and I am being dead serious when I say it was ALL uphill. I know that this is true because the last quarter mile was straight downhill. The hike alone was ok. It was really hot and parts of it were really crowded also I had to have peanut butter and jelly with Cheetos. Good news about lunch though I did get a cosmic brownie at the end. At the end of the hike we were all tired sweaty and ready to jump in the pool. After getting back to the hotel were very disappointed to find out the pool was closed and would be for the next few hours. We spent the next few hours writing posts and just relaxing. For dinner we are going out to a brewery that Zoe found.
