Our first stop in Colorado Springs was "Garden of the Gods." This was so much fun to enjoy with David (James' brother) and his family. David found a hocky puck in the bushes, and the boys had a blast rolling it through peoples legs, down the rock formations, and down the trails.
This rock formation is called kissing camels. In the picture it looks really close, but it is actually hundres of feet away. Just beautiful...the rocks that is... :)

Our next stop, after sonic (YUM) was the olympic training center. We went on a tour with just about 10 other people, and got to sit right down with the men's olympic gymnastic hopefuls during a mock meet. We sat there for an hour, and just watched them do there routines. WOW! They are so strong! So, look closely to see if you will recognize any of there faces in August at the Olympics. The one puting on chalk in this picture was the US Champion in 2005. Really amazing.
Here is Andrew and Andrew together. How sweet! (This gymnist's name is Andrew)
We also were able to see the wrestling team working out, and just missed the trampoliners. (I didn't even know trampoline was an olympic sport!). We started talking to a really freindly wrestler while watching the gymnists. A while into our conversation, we learned his name was Stephen Abas and he won the silver in wrestling last olympics (120lb/55kg weight class), and is hoping to get the gold this year. The defending gold medalist will be wrestling in the weight class above, so he is excited to hopefully go all of the way. We also met a medal hopeful in the triatholon, Matt Seymore.
Andrew was a sweetie on our road trip to Coloado Springs. This is his first time in his new carseat. Though he doesn't seem too excited, he slept for nearly 2 hours straight during is first ride!
He was happy to arrive in Coloardo, and see everyone.
