Green Concert @ Red Rocks






This night was one of the best nights of my LIFE!!!!! We had so much fun! This band went on between huge 5 story rocks. And when the band ended all you herd was the echo roaring everywhere. You would really have to be there to comprehend how amazing it really was. And that rock that you saw was cool! It looked like it eroded from bottom up and it was so comfortable in there. We had so much fun dancing to the music.......GO GREEN!!!!!!!!!!

Fraser River Trail




Today Mau took me on a long up hill trail from Fraser to Winter Park base. It was almost all up hill the way there. I almost gave up but i had Mau  right in my tail saying"Keep going, keep paddling, don't stop", it drove me insane but if it wasn't for her than i would have never made it. I cycled with Mat and Hannah had been a member of US Disabled Ski Team. They kept encouraging me too. and on the way back it was all down hill. that was the best part. When we were done we had some breakfast at Sharkies grill.

On the Colorado River



What an amazing experience I had to day! We rafted.! It was in a ducky with Cathi. The other people in duckies were splashing us so it began a huge war between each other. We got soaked. Then a couple of little kids had supper soaker's and that was cold. The views were amazing. Then more towards the end the wind picked up so I switched with another girl so i could go to the bigger boat. That was a fun,cold, and interesting ride.

Breakfast Ride @ Steamboat





Instead of driving to breakfast we biked to breakfast. It was a long ride but worth it in the end. I had a chocolate chip pancake and bacon at the Shack Cafe. I rode with Mark, Kathy, Mau, and One-legged John. Then we road back so we could get ready for our second day of water skiing. This was a beautiful ride and one of those i will never forget because of the people that were there with me that day.

Behind the Boat @ Steamboat





Here in Steam Boat ,I also water skied. It was a nice lake and it was some what worm too. I didn't use sides on the ski this time but i fell 3 times on the turns. My 4Th turn i was able to stay on and so with my fifth. Then i got to cold and pulled in. We stayed in an amazing hotel that night. In the morning, i got on the ski again and was able to do all the turns and go in and out of the wake. I had a lot of fun here in steam boat and hope to do it again!

Boulder Handcycle Ride Day



This is what a hand cycle looks like! Today me and Mau took a trip to boulder to take a ride with a group of people. we road 7 miles today. I was so tiered in the end of this ride. I have never road this long in my life. When we came back to the building we started off in, we had muffins and smoothies. that was a long but successful ride!!!
