Good thing the Prestgard boys know how to change a tire!
Ashley, Jenn, and I just had to sit back and wait.We just drove back to Price and bought a couple of new tires at the WalMart there. It added a couple of hours to the trip and we didn't get to Tyler's Uncle Greg's house until midnight.
Thursday we went to the Olympic Training Center
Cindy, Claire, Shanda, Jenn, Kyle, Eric, Me, Kensington, Brad, Kent, Keith, Ashley, Angelo and Tyler.
This was my favorite sculpture there. Isn't it beautiful?
Claire, Tyler, me, and KensingtonThe front says "Salt Lake 2002"
These nice young men took us on the tour. They're part of the US Volleyball team.
A fox just came and settled right there on the grass.
This was taken on top of the visitor's center's roof.Friday, Tyler, Brian, Kyle, Jenn, Eric, Ashley, and I went to the movies and to the mall while others went golfing or to the Air Force Academy.
We saw Wall-E, which was really cute and then had lunch and shopped at the mall. I thought it was hilarious that there was a K-Mart in the mall.
That night we had fun playing at Uncle Greg and Aunt Cindy's house.
Kensington liked to climb into the Princess stroller. She's such a funny little thing! And she's perfect doll-size!Saturday, Jane, Cindy, Claire, Angelo, Kensington, and I went to Royal Gorge Canyon while everyone else went White Water Rafting!
We rode the carousel first.
Kensington and her Grandma.
Me and Angelo.
Angelo and Aunt Jane.
Me and Kensington. Claire and Cindy were on the other side of the carousel, so I didn't get to take any pictures of them.We rode the train down into the gorge. They make you stand on these steep and tiny little steps to wait for it and then they cram you into these tiny little cage-like compartments. People moo-ed.
Going down...
This is a shot from the gorge up the train tracks.
I got dizzy walking down these steps because of the water. It was really pretty though!
This is what everyone else was doing but further up the river.
Going back up. Look at that face. She's such a doll!
And here's the bridge. This was the scariest part of the trip for me. I thought we were going to die. The wooden boards look old and there are huge cracks where you can look down and see how incredibly high you are. Cars and buses drive alongside you as you walk making the bridge shake and sway. So scary. I was already sweating because of the heat and the adrenaline just made it worse. I did not wear the right outfit - jeans, 3/4 length black tee-shirt.
The view from the bridge.

Once on the other side, the kids ate some ice cream and we relaxed in some rocking chairs. We also went over to the wild-life park and saw some animals.
Mountain goats eating their lunch.
Buffalo
White buffalo!We took the bus back across the bridge. I closed my eyes and prayed the whole time.
Cute and very tired kids.I ended up buying a cotton tee-shirt at the front shop and changing before the trip back home. I was so hot. It, of course, cooled off right before we left and started raining. There was even a really cool lighting storm.
The kids all slept on the way home.
That night we met up with the rafters at Greg and Cindy's and ate dinner and had the family auction. We all had a really great time.

Thank you to Greg and Cindy for all their hospitality and to Grandpa Prestgard for making the whole reunion possible!
