Fall time

Friday is family day seeing Mr. Incredible has no school. So we went to Colorado Springs to hike Seven Falls before the ice and snow came and go to Edelweiss. Mr. Incredible hiked with Peanut on his back up the falls. Having conquered Wieliczka Salt mine in Poland before I thought there would be no problem. I was regrettably wrong, the evaluator was up to the shop and a bird's view of the falls and not up to the Falls itself.

224 steps up to the top of the falls. I got up 125 stairs and stayed at Shorty Falls unable to handle those rod iron stair case, they made me dizzy being on the side of the mountain the elevation didn't work on my side either. I think that if I did it at night it would have be perfect like the salt mines. Mr. Incredible hiked up all the Falls and back down enthusiastically with peanut. At length of... oh about 30 minutes I got back down those 125 steps with my legs feeling like jelly. Apparently my slowness clogged up traffic coming down and those people it not bother to go around me. I was fully clinging to only the right rail, so it would have been easy to go around me people.


After the Falls, we went to Edelweiss a German restaurant in Colorado springs. Love that place! With all the German speakers and atmosphere I felt like I was back in Europe. You got your kaiser rolls and real butter. Celebrating Oktoberfest with out all the beer.
Then we stopped at the Crazy Elephant to enjoy their Sweet Charity market. Where a bunch of charities were selling wears to support their causes. We bought sunglasses, jewelry and cards benefiting children's literacy and diabetes. It was awesome! Thank you Crazy Elephant for hosting the event!
Off to Tango class for our last lesson. Mr. Incredible does not know he own strength at times, I was man handled doing the step called the hook! Well that ends my Friday travels.
