Denver, CO






There is so much to do here! We can go the museum this weekend or the zoo or even skiing. This is a beautiful place with so many things to see. It is easy to understand why this city is know and the fittest city in the country when it has 300 days of sunshine with near perfect temperatures for being outside. I love it!

We learned about the "Western Stock Show" and all the other wonderful fun attractions around Denver. Jessie even competes in the show.

The City and County of Denver is the capital and the most populous city of Colorado, in the United States. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles (24 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.344 m) above sea level.

We went to the Denver Mint and the Denver Art Museum. They were very neat places with lots of things to see and do!

Journal:

Taylor and I went biking for four miles. It was funny. I saw birds and snakes and other animals and when I came back I wanted to go again. Yesterday I hiked with Sam O. It was great. I tripped over a rock. When Sam and I got back we were tired. Avery, Sam O. and I went biking, it was fum and exciting.

We were in Denver Colorado today. I watched the Avalanche. It was them vs. the Wild. After that I went to a cheeseburger cafe. I was thinking about the Wild victory. I was wondering about if Kyle was going to crash into me and if we were going to go over a cliff when we were biking tonight.

Sam M., Neil, Kory and I went bike riding. We saw a bear. We did not have a bell so we biked as fast as we could. The bear was gone. Then we went fishing! Taylor and I went hunting. Taylor and I saw a bear again, so I shot it. I said, we have a dinner tonight. Taylor nodded his head, We do. Then Taylor shot a buck.
