We are here at a great time. It's Memorial Weekend - so America is in a happy, party mood. Boulder had the Bolder Boulder event today - 40,000 people running 10km. It's also the Boulder Creek Festival - music, food, markets all weekend. If that was not enought, the Ultimate Frisbee World Championships were here as well. It all means that Boulder is 'going off' and everyone is out having a great time.
This morning we hired bikes and headed off along Boulder Creek - through the 40,000 race contestants, through the market stalls and along the creek into Boulder Canyon. We did 18km in total and loved winding our way slowly up through the canyon - along the side of the river. We eventually ran out of puff and came back a lot quicker as it was all down hill.
Jack got to travel in a 'chariot' and slept most of the way.
James and Olivia did a great job.
This afternoon we enjoyed the Boulder Creek Festival - listening to live music, watching dancing and wandering around the market stalls.
James enjoyed some time in a medieval knight sword fighting area - fighting lots of other kids with foam filled swords. Olivia had a go but was way too violent!
They both loved the bucking bronco - but neither managed to stay on too long.
Another full day, lots of fun. We are spending another night in Boulder tomorrow and planning on exploring Denver (only 25 miles away) before heading North on Wednesday.
