“Last call for flight 403, flight 403.” My trip started off with a sprint to our gate. My aunt, cousins, and I made it to our plane as they were closing the doors. Thank God we were all runners because if we would have made it there a few seconds later, we would have missed our flight. I sat next to my cousin, Nicole, and we were about to fly into an unforgettable trip.
My aunt, cousins, and I were going to Colorado! We met my Aunt Charlene’s boyfriend, Mike, at the airport in Colorado. We went to his parent’s house to stay for the night, We played with their games for hours. We also watched some movies and fell asleep.
The next day, after breakfast, we drove to Boulder, Colorado. It was about a three hour drive. We made many stops at malls …show more content…

We went canoeing for a little while. Nicole and I were in the same canoe. My other cousin, Natalie and Mike were on the same team. We had a race to see who can get from one side of the lake to the other. Nicole and I were winning until they tipped our canoe over. We fell into the ice cold water and could not get back onto the canoe without falling again. We got out of the lake and our shoes were all covered in seaweed and other unpleasant things. Later, we went white water rafting. This was my personal favorite event out of my entire trip. My cousin Nicole and I sat in the front of the raft. These two seats were the ones that obtained the most splash. During the one to two hour of rafting, we were attacked by giant waves. Every few minutes, we would be bulldozed with the freezing water.

We went to our hotel and ate at an Italian restaurant. Our hotel had five king size beds, perfect because all of us got one. We slept like pigs throughout the whole …show more content…

We went on a four and a half mile bike ride. It was all fun in games until we reached our second mile. The rest of our bike ride was filled with hills. Everything was uphill from now. Our legs felt like jello. After the long journey, we returned our bikes and drove to Aspen, Colorado. A bus took us to the start of the hikes and takes us back to the lobby area. It was about a nine mile drive. At the beginning of the hike, you get an option of whether you want to take the scenery hike or the crater hike. Of course, Mike makes us go through the crater one. We had to hike up that mountain filled with huge rocks and streams. It was one of the hardest things to do in my life because not only was I tripping over the rocks and branches, but there were giant poisonous spiders hiding everywhere. It took us about an hour and thirty minutes to reach the top. We lost track of time and we had to get back to the bus in 40 minutes or else it will leave without us and we would have to walk 9 miles back to the car. We practically ran down that mountain. Of course, my little cousin trips from behind me and we slid into the stream. I am not going to lie, that cold water felt really good, but we were soaked. I ran the rest of the way down with heavy, squishy shoes. I did not think it was possible to run that fast for so long, but somehow we mastered
