Since we got a little behind on the blog for day 3, this is gonna be a combined post of day 3 and 4. Day 3 was interesting to say the least. We left our campsite in Missouri at about 9 am and it was supposed to be an 8 hour drive to Colorado Springs. However, what fun is a family road trip without a breakdown? Well, that's what happened to us at about an hour from our destination. The bolts on one of the tires on our camper broke off, resulting in the tire coming off as well. So we had to pull over and call triple a. But there was a miscommunication as to where exactly we were so the guy that was coming to help us took about 3 hours to get there. So when we finally were back on the road again, we got to the campsite at about 11pm, and had to set up in the dark. But this morning we were amazed to see that our campsite is completely surrounded by the rocky mountains! It was beautiful! Today, we drove downtown to see the Focus on the Family Radio headquarters, and us kids got to do our own recording of an Adventures in Odyssey! We also got a pretty cool tour of the Olympic training facility down there. So far, pretty good! The trip is far from over, and i'm excited to see the adventures we will have in the future!
