I…can’t…breathe…

Ok it is DEFINITELY harder to breathe here. We are 7,800 feet above sea level! I can see why it would be advantageous to train here for a triathlon, because if you can do it here, you can do it anywhere!

We went on a really cool hike up above the house today. The following pictures were taken literally in the backyard. The mountain side was a bit steep, but at least none of us took any embarrassing falls!

We spent the day playing games like Mexican Train. This evening Missy’s family was in charge of the activity and we played a really neat game called “The Good Egg Game”. Clark’s mom had put 35 things you can find around a house into an actual egg shell and then taped it back together. We were given 15 minutes to come up with our list. Whoever had the most right-wins! Very fun and challenging game. Then we had this yummy dessert pizza Grandma made.

We ended the evening with a wonderful DVD of all old video clips that Hal had put together. All the way from when Bob was young to when the last grandchild was born. It was fun to see all our kids as babies again and who knew that at 16 Bob was so proud of his muscles??
