My Trip (:
In July of this year, my mom and I went with two friends of ours to Colorado. We flew form Houston to Colorado Springs. Once we got there, we drove to Estes Park. When we got there, we went to find our cabin. The cabin was nice and cozy and the weather was nice too because it was much cooler. We decided to that we would go hiking. We went to Bear Lake and walked a couple of different trails. We hoped to see a bear, but unfortunately we didn’t. We did see several chipmunks and different kinds of birds. We had to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated because of the high altitude. Later that night, we were outside relaxing and we saw several deer and longhorn sheep that were grazing across the street from u. we went and grabbed our cameras to take pictures.
The next day we went to the YMCA camp and took a tour of it. Later that day we went back and went swimming there. We also signed up to go on a group hike.
The days in Colorado seemed to go by much slower then they do here. Are next adventure would be shopping. We went into the town and browsed through the shops. I bought a few rings and a few shirts. I always enjoy shopping when im on vacation.
The next day, we left Estes Park and drove to Pueblo. It’s a very small city where my grandparents and aunt live. My mom and I decided to go by to surprise my grandpa at work. We just missed him. So we went by his house to visit instead. We had a very nice long visit.
The following day my aunt invited us to go to the top of Pike’s Peak on a train. Pike’s Peak is one of the highest mountains in the world. On the way up to the top we saw several marmons in the rocks. Marmons are half beaver half cat. Once we got to the top we saw snow and it was very cold. We couldn’t believe how quickly the temperature changed because of the altitude. That proved to be a very exciting day....
