Abbie did a great job reporting on the fun had at Focus on the Family-- it's definitely a 'don't miss' if you are ever near Colorado Springs! We also got to meet the managing editor of the Focus on the Family magazine-- Andrea Vinley Jewel. Her parents and mine were friends back in the late 1970's when we lived in Sarasota. This picture is for you, mom!
After our visit, we stopped in at a nearby Wal-Mart for ice and milk (I think that makes at least 8 or 20 Wal-marts that we have visited during this trip! I will say that they are mostly the same across the country, except that the ones out west don't have groceries AND gas nearly as often the ones in Georgia). We then drove up the interstate about 5 miles on a "FISH/Pants Pictures" errand. Chad Davis, who works at the FISH, had emailed Michael about getting a picture at the Air Force Academy since he had attended school there. It was actually pretty cool and we also got to watch some gliders being towed off the runway and being launched by airplanes.
We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at the campground resting (Michael & Ralph), doing laundry (Ann & I), and swimming (guess who?!). After a dinner on the grill, we headed to bed-- we had a long day of driving ahead of us.

Thanks for the picture, Wendy - Andrea does look like her mom! You sure have packed in alot each day, some planned and some unexpected, I'm sure! Your daily "journaling" on this blog will be great to refer to as the girls work on their own scrapbooks!
Love you,
Mom
