Need oxygen....maybe!
14,110 feet...we made it to the top of Pike's Peak with no problems.
Once you get past the tree line you can feel the temperature drop and the need for oxygen. Parker couldn't wait to have a snow ball fight! It wasn't what he had in mind when we got to the top. But he still managed a few snowballs. He wanted to buy a ten dollar pair of mittens to make more! Not!
Who knew they made really yummy homemade donuts on the top of Pike's Peak! Six for five dollars! They didn't last out of the parking lot.
With all the road trips we have been making this summer we have learned that Maddie's favorite way to site see is from the back seat of the car with head phones and a movie. However, Parker needs to be in the middle of all the action and on the edge of every cliff we see. I have said, "Parker, move back from the edge", more than once as my stomach made a few flips and my knees got weak as the gravel gave way under his feet!
Parker said this was better than the baseball game because of the snowballs. I even think Pike's Peak is at the top of Maddie's list.
Well, that and Beaches! She loves that movie.
