My best friend Tera sent me off to go stay with Uncle Rob and Aunt Denice in Colorado. I arrived Saturday, October 29th, 2011. I will be staying with them for about 3 weeks.

Uncle Rob and Aunt Denice (I call them that too!) tell me that they have some fun adventures in store for me. I can't wait to find out what they are! I miss my friend Tera and cannot wait to see her again, but hopefully she will be following my adventures on this blog and we can keep in touch that way.

Olympic Training Center

I am between the red and green circles!
I know.. I know.  It has been a long time since I last posted.  Sorry!  Time just gets away from me here in the mountains. 

Yesterday, we did a little more touring around Colorado Springs.  We actually visited the Olympic Training Center!  As of August 1998, there are 12 Olympic organizations that have their national headquarters on the complex  They are able to provide housing, dining, recreational facilities and other services for up to 557 coaches and athletes at one time on the complex.  Some of the sports that are hosted by this training center include:
  • Fencing - pretend fighting with swords!
  • Shooting
  • Weightlifting
  • Gymnastics
  • Triathlon - 3 sports in one:  swimming, biking, and running
  • Cycling
  • Swimming

 It was a very impressive tour.  We actually got to see the pool and gyms where the athletes train!

Well, I head back to Indiana starting Wednesday.  We will be driving.  I will be sure and post along the way.  We will be going through the states of Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois before making it back to Indiana.
