Day 37:  Mon, 7/17:  Breckenridge and Frisco Adventure Park, CO

After breakfast, we rode our bikes across the highway to the paved bike path and rode 4 miles to the Frisco Adventure Park—a free mountain bike area with more BMX style pump tracks with jumps, berms, and wooden structures.  We had fun riding the bumps and berms and pushing our mountain biking skills—including small jumps.  Poor Andrea had a pretty bad fall when she lost her concentration on a straight-forward turn.  She scraped her shoulder, elbow, and knee and bruised her hip.  But, our tough girl recovered after about 10 minutes and was back at it riding the jumps and courses.  We all stopped after a second lightening bold and thunder clap in the not-too-far distance and when it began raining hard.  So we went to Walmart for groceries/supplies and headed home for dinner.  We cooked 4 grilled 4 trout we caught the night before--they were great!  After dinner, we all watched the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.  Andrea and I love this movie with its simple message of exploration, adventure, and being in the moment.  The kids liked it too.  They're continuing to understand these values we’re trying to instill.  We then played poker—Ryan’s new favorite game.
