Well, the last few days, I have been away from most of the common technology at home, because I have been in the mountains of Colorado. So this post will encompass more than 2 days.
I spent Monday working at Central, which is very fun and easy; what with an hour break to watch movies all day long, and no more than 40 people total. Then Tuesday was spent driving up to Colorado. I spent that day reading, sleeping, or driving.
Then Brian, my Mom, and I spend Wednesday getting acquainted with Lake City, shooting the BB gun, and trying, without success, to climb a multi-hundred foot hill. All of this while eating the food Granny makes, which is always an adventure because she never uses a recipe for anything, and usually just makes it up as she goes.
On Thursday, I rented a bike for the day and rode around town. I learned that even if the area looks flat, if you're in the mountains, there are ALWAYS uphills. For lunch, I had the weirdest cheeseburger I have ever had, because it had white American cheese, a weird tasting meat, and it was chopped beef, and not a patty. I happily traded it for a few slices of pizza. And then I went horse-back riding for 2 hours. I will probably never go horse-back ridding because it hurts really bad. All you do is bounce up and down on a hard leather pad, scrape your knees against the saddle, hold your legs weird, and are just generally uncomfortable. That was the last active thing I did Thursday.
On Friday, all 5 of us went ATV-ing for the day. We rented 4 ATV's, but one broke earlier so we only got 3. The rest of the day was spent riding with Brian, because he was most fun/fast/adventurous/best, or driving with a parent passenger. We got lost once, drove illegally on a highway, and granny had a crazy attack. Granny's crazy attack was at a pass, roughly 12,500 feet up, we stopped to a) admire the few and take pictures an to b) let a jeep convoy through because there wasn't enough room on the road. Brian, and I had moved to the base of a hill to give the jeeps more room, mom was stuck away from the base, and Grandad and granny were moving to Brian and me. Granny went crazy and thought Grandad was going to drive over the edge, so she jumps off, and refuses to move (even to walk out of the way to let the jeeps pass because she was so scared of the edge), thus making it impossible for the rest of the jeeps to pass. So next, she decides to walk down the trail, insisting that it's too dangerous to get on in the mostly flat pass and safer on the steep trail.
When we got back, everybody felt to tired to do anything else, and to do anything else on Saturday as well, so we cancel our kayak trip and head home Saturday morning. Mom drove all 13 hours, and we got home around 12:15.
Sunday was spent cleaning, sleeping, eating well, and more cleaning.
