Saturday...

What a freaky storm we had just before dinner! Sudden thunder and lightening, then pounding hail - it was so unexpected and completely amazing!

Besides the huge hail storm that just passed, here are some highlights from Saturday. Rick, Chris/Halfhunter and I took a trip up to Pike's Peak - wow, it is strunning and breathtaking! And what a beautiful day to take a drive, but you'd better not be afraid of heights when traveling on the road to the top (elevation over 14,000 feet)! Here are photos I took along the way....

On our way back to the dorms we decided to locate some poker chips so we could get a game going tonight. Along the way, we passed right by the U.S. Olympic Headquarters so, of course, we had to stop and take more photos!

When we got back from Pike's Peak, it was time to officially register for the week. Todd was hanging out there so we took a few minutes to relax.

We also registered for the Minor Leage baseball game on Monday night (Sky Socks) which includes a BBQ and of course fire works.

Speaking of BBQ, we had a tasty BBQ dinner following the registration which luckily was under a large tent so we stayed dry even though the rain returned. By the way, we actually bought some wine glasses at a little winery near the bottom of the Pike's Peak mountain so we wouldn't have to keep drinking wine out of paper cups. We also bought a couple yummy bottles of local wine - here's one of them! And the glasses sure made all the difference!

We plan to start a friendly poker game here shortly, so that's about it for today. Classes start Sunday afternoon!
