Sunday, July 25th

We went to church and then headed out to the Royal Gorge. Pictures cannot do this place justice!

This is one of the world's highest suspension bridges and it hangs over the Arkansas River. 
They have all 50 states' flags flying on the bridge so we stopped for a family photo in front of the Illinois flag.
The bridge was made of a lot of wooden slats.  Some of the gaps were a bit too big for my liking.  Here is a photo looking through one such crack.
We rode in the aerial tram.  It is more than 1,100 fee above the canyon floor and is the world's longest single-span Aerial Tram.  You can see our tram shadow on the rocks.
Here you can see the tram off in the distance.
We also road in the world's steepest incline railway down over 1500 feet to the canyon floor.
Bodi calls Justin Uncle Jusseee and it is so darn cute.  He loves Uncle Jusseee's tractors and camper bus!
When we got back to the house Madison decided to relax in the hot tub.  Check out the view behind here.  Imagine how gorgeous it would be in the winter when the peaks are snow capped!
