We took advantage of what might be our last Saturday together since John starts his new job this week and took a day trip down to the Royal Gorge. My parents had given us admission tickets for our birthdays and all we did was walk right in. Its past "season" so it wasn't very crowded and it gave us lots of time to meander down the bridge and feel it swaying in the wind. Ok, the swaying freaked John out a little bit because we were 1000 feet up in the air, but we walked the whole thing, looking for ducks over the side. (Just in case there were any swimming in the river below. Hey, you never know!)
We had no idea that it was more than just a really high bridge. We visited the petting zoo where Myla got to meet a goat and some llamas, we saw elk and buffalo - a white one! - and big horn sheep up close and personal and then took the tram OVER the gorge to get back. Then, because you can, we took the incline railway to the bottom and looked up. Myla loved that we rode on two trains (we told her the tram was a flying train) and kept saying "choo, choo" all the way.
On our way out, Myla took her first carousal ride. She choose the bunny to sit on, I was next to her on a horse and John was holding on to her. Once we got going, she was in heaven. Her whole face showed how much fun she had. She loved it. And of course, it was fun for us to see her learning and enjoying something so much.We had the best time together as a family making some end of summer memories.

I have one question, is it really even possible to fish from that bridge, really? Truly? Looks like so much fun, one of the spots we still need to see . . . ;)
