Visit to Colorado Springs and the Olympics and Paralympics Museum

This summer we all enjoyed the summer olympic games and we were excited to visit the Olympics and Paralympics Museum.  It is new, less than a year old, and had a lot of very interesting historical information.  Thankfully they were not busy at all and we got to check out a lot of interactive displays including this one on archery.  

The boys raced against a Paralympian (on the screen).  

 We all tried skiing!

And the skeleton!  

They also had the score board from the 1980 Lake Placid arena.  The informational sign explains why 3 seconds are left on the scoreboard.  

We were happy to be inside when we saw the rain come pouring down outside!  

On the drive back we saw lots of rain happening around us but thankfully not on us.  And this cool rock formation (and if I remember correctly this was in a place called Castle Rock).
