GLENWOOD SPRINGS...with Cassandra

Here she is...with luggage nearby...right after Mommy & Daddy dropped her off.

She enjoyed watching "Berenstain Bears" most of the way

Lots of stair climbing to go across the street to the pool

Setting up "camp" for the morning...

Cassandra and penguin became fast friends

She would often walk ahead of us down the hallway where

we stayed

...stairs again to go out

Watching the trams as they come down the mountain

and...going up

I actually look pretty relaxed, don't I? It's all for show.

Beautiful scenery on the way

and, a fabulous cave tour at the top

Miss Sidney, our tour guide happened to mention

near the beginning of the tour that she would be

showing us Tinkerbell (towards the end of the 70 min.

tour!) Well, that was ALL Cassandra could talk about .

From that point on, all we heard was "Where's Tinkerbell?,

Where's Tinkerbell?" over & over & over. Miss Sidney

finally made a pinkie promise with Cassandra.

The views at the top were spectacular

and many amazing sights inside as well...HUGE cave!

The top of the mountain was called "Adventureland", and

there were all kinds of family entertainment. This is a swing

that flew over the mountain and took my breath away just

looking at it. We were trying to decide who in our family would

have the nerve to do this. We both agreed "Natalie". Any

other takers?

"No T's, Cassandra!" Papa's rule!

Huge sandbox

climbing wall

Lunch at a public golf course

kayaking the Colorado River (not us) :-)

taking penguin for a walk out to the balcony

Papa & Cassandra coming back from the last swim, b/4

we left. (Yia-Yia was packing) :-)

and, one more run down the hall for penguin....
