Summer in Colorado
This summer, I went to Colorado on a family vacation. Colorado is very fun in the summer and I ’ m so excited to do all the activities. There are so many things to do and my favorite were mountain biking, fly fishing, going to the market, and the rodeo.
I had never been mountain biking before and I was so excited to start the lesson. My instructor ’ s name was Casey and she was nice. She was also really good at mountain biking. At the beginning I was a little nervous, but after a few laps down the mountain it was not scary anymore. It was thrilling and crazy.
Fly fishing was next on my list because it was difficult to catch fish, but also fun. We went on a real fishing boat and I caught a fish in the first five minutes. We spent the whole day on the Roaring Fork River. I ended up catching four fish. It was a great experience.
Next on my agenda was the Aspen market. The market is a bunch of booths with food from farms and I always get popcorn and juicy peaches. There are always tons of people. I got really tired from walking so I ate frozen yogurt. Shopping at the Aspen market is always interesting. Then we went to a rodeo and got some candy. We went to a bounce house and played chicken bingo. The rules are you pick a number and if the chicken poops on your number you win a prize. I picked number five and nineteen, but I did not win. It was finally time for the rodeo to start. There were so many horses and cowboys. After the rodeo there are Mutton Busters. It is where young kids have to hold onto a sheep while it is running and whoever holds and the longest wins a trophy. It was so funny to watch.
It was an awesome trip and I got to do so many things. I can ’ t wait to go again next year. I love going to Colorado because there are never ending adventures.
