Week 14

Spring break. This was our first chance for a bit of exploration but we mainly stayed around home. This week was made up a collection of small adventures. One of my favourite events was when Dad and I went to the shooting range. It was fantastic and unbelievably loud. They had two doors and even with ear muffs on it was so loud that we jumped every time someone would fire. The hardest thing was loading the bullets (to our gun for dummies). I think I'm a pretty good shot, but I had the most practice since dad only fired a couple of bullets. On a different day we all went for a big hike up Chautauqua Park to the first and second peaks. Mum was really grumpy going up. We also tried to go to the Denver museum of natural art and science but couldn't find it so just looked around Denver. That same day Dad and I went and joined the Boulder Cricket Club, if you believe it. They were all from either India, Bangladesh or Pakistan, and even more unbelievable was that they had all the proper gear. I was impressed even though they weren't very good.
