Life in Colorado

The main reason that we're here in Colorado is because my dad has training so we might as well get some skiing in and check it out. We landed kind of late but we still got in time to go in the hot tub for a while.  Our house here is pretty cool, they've already got an X-Box hooked up, and of course they've got a hot tub.  There are a lot of people with hot tubs out here because it gets really cold.  The next morning we took dad to the hotel that he stays in while he's in training and they gave us nice warm cookies.  That's the most awesome thing about the hotel, they give you free, delicious, warm cookies.  We then went to a soup place.  Later we went to the tennis place in Evergreen (Evergreen's the town we're staying in) and met the instructor and a couple of kids.  There was one about my age and one Amelia's age.  Isabel didn't want to go to hers.  I liked the instructor even though I don't think he's as good as Erik.  He's only 25 years old and likes to play a lot of games.  We had this the next day too because it's a three day thing.  We only went for two of the days but are planning on having another one with more kids on Monday.  After we were done we went to the training center to stay with dad for the remainder of his training.  It probably wasn't worth it because he had to study all night but we got to have a family dinner at a noodle place which was really good.  We also went in the pool before the noodle place while dad finished his training for the day.  Later I watched a cool show called Smash Lab where they were trying to find a more efficient way to end car chases and they would have a robotic arm that came out of the back of the car and sprayed a fire extinguisher directly into the grill of the car.  It ended up not working very well but it was still interesting.  We also watched Myth Buster's where they were trying to make a jet pack which also didn't work.  The next day, today, my mom and sisters got up and got breakfast while I sat in bed watching T.V.  We had blueberry muffins from Starbucks.  We then went to the pool and waited for dad to finish training again.  When he was done, he said if we hurried he could get us in a simulator so we hurried over and ended up getting in one.  It was really cool, he taught us how to control and work the rudders and everything and we took off and landed successfully (maybe a little help).  The motion was off so it didn't really feel like we were flying it but it still showed the visual.  We then went to Chipotle for lunch.  We checked out a ski resort which we plan on going to called Echo mountain which is really cool because the lodge is located halfway up the mountain and it's pretty much just a giant terrain park (ramps and rails) which I'm really into.  We also checked out another town and then went home and we all got in the hot tub (even mom).
