CD2 - Hey Everyone back home,
Posted by AAVE Leader in : Colorado Discovery , trackback
Today is Day 3 of our amazing Colorado Discovery adventure.
ALL campers are fantastic and are getting along really well. Yesterday we hiked up to and then swam in Turquoise Lake in the highest city in the United States, Leadville, 10,152 feet, 3094 m. It was super fun and a great way to beat the hot Colorado summer weather.
Today we traveled to Crested Butte, a beautiful and cool mountain town! We swam in another alpine lake. The highlight of this lake was a rope swing. It produced a lot of laughter, smiles, and bonding.
The group is coming together really well. The three girls, Zoie, Gabby, and Kaitlyn, are three peas in a pod and love sharing a tent. Kaitlyn, Louis, and Hank cooked gourmet meals yesterday for the group - a strong solid start from the cook teams assures that we will be eating well all summer. We are enjoying Mo’s guitar playing and Kofi’s DJ-ing skills. Each camper brings something unique to the group and together they are super, nice, generous, friendly, polite, adventurous, and up for the challenges Colorado Discovery will offer.
Tomorrow we are off to mountain bike. They are all excited to be participating in so many fun activities. Thanks for sharing your kids with us!
