This week was Maddi's second grade play. It was really cute and Maddi did a great job. She had 2 speaking parts but the songs were her favorite part. Natalie and I went and watched her dress rehearsal for the school. Natalie was so excited to go to the kids school. She wore her pants that matched Maddi's skirt. She remembers what Maddi wears and loves Maddi's clothes. Natalie loved every minute of the play and was really good.
My friend Wendy and I at the top of Mt. Manitou
My big adventure of the week was the Manitou Springs incline. It is over 2800 old railroad ties that go straight up the mountain. You gain over 2000 feet in elevation on the way up. So for some reason everyone in Colorado Springs thinks that they need to hike it. It is not an official requirement but I think at some point everyone her has to hike the incline. Then you run down the trail on the other side which is about 4 miles down. The trail down hooks into the trail that you take to hike Pikes Peak. So it was not the most enjoyable day of my life but it was a pretty big accomplishment plus I found out that I am not wasting my time at the gym! My workouts are paying off!
The top of the mountain in the picture is not really the top! It keeps on going which means so did I. They call it the false summit.
