Day 11 – it’s hard to believe we are past the half way point of our 20 day holiday. But it’s true.

Today was an awesome jam-packed day of fun. We headed up to the Glenwood Caverns for most of the day. To get up you take a tram (gondola) and then once you are up, there is endless activities to do. 1st we hit up the “alpine slide” which is a rollercoaster that goes down the side of the mountain, and the you are towed back up. Next we went on a Cave tour, which was really neat. Following the cave tour we went on the big swing – which shoots you out over the canyon… and I did it…. crazy I know. Then it was lunch time, which is always a good time of day. After lunch the parental units, Uncle Terry and Aunt Sally headed home, and the ‘kids’ stayed up. We went through the maze, and won great prizes (a sheriff badge, and popper), then it was time for the big trampoline, and after some did the big swing once more before heading down.

Once we were back in New Castle we went bowling… Phil and I have never gone 10 pin bowling so it was great to try it. Phil is amazing, I am okay… it was a lot of fun, and we had a lot of laughs.

We got back to the house and we decided to go play wiffle ball, 2 people hit, and then it was Phil’s turn – his 1st hit be broke the ball, which made for a lot of laughs…. and lots of talk about his intensity with whatever he does! We played with the broken ball until dinner time, which worked just fine.

My Aunt Sally made her famous shrimp dinner and it was amazing, and didn’t fail to impress! Post dinner we were talking about doing something with all of us (there are 14) and we decided to go back to the bowling alley for some games. 12 of us played, and it was awesome. Between 9 and 12 its cosmic bowling, so that in itself was fun. There was a lot of competition going on too. Phil and my Uncle Terry were neck and neck in both games – but my Uncle pulled forward each time. Phil’s awesome though — it shows your speed and he was throwing it 20mph.. FAST!!!

Now we are home, and quite tired – between the sunshine and busy activities we are all pretty wiped. So, goodnight world!
