My two favorite books.

When my daughter Alejandra and my son Fabian started elementary school, I began to put together a scrapbook for each one of them.
I took the most important pictures, assignments, awards, school newspaper,
regular newspaper, etc. and I started two scrapbooks collecting all of the information from school about Alex and Fabian.
When I open these scrapbooks, I remember my two beautiful kids doing sports, like: cross country, track, wrestling and basketball. Time that my husband and I enjoyed a lot, giving them motivation to improve their times and their accomplishments.
All the time they would win many awards, and the last two years in high school they had state competitions, Alex one time and Fabian several other times, wining two several 1st. place or 2ND. place medals.
Now I know that sports help out kids and teenagers keep focus in school, but parents also need to push and support them all the time.

When I was a child, ten years old, my favorite place was the Chuviscar River. I lived in a small community, where old people knows who lives in each house.
The river environment gave the opportunity to construct houses with the trees and bushes, and we had places to play for a long time.
Maqui and Elena were my best friends. We played to little house, we listened to music, etc. Also we went to the edge of the river to fishing little fish with the hands. We put the fish in a bottle for our house. We watched and took care them.

A family day off

September 1st. was a day off for my whole family. We decided to enjoy the day together. My husband Fabian who loves fishing, prepared everything to go fishing at Woodland Park. This city has a beautiful lake.

My son Fabian who is nineteen year old, my daughter Alejandra who is eighteen years old, my husband and myself arrived at Woodland Park, but on the way there, someone made a comment about Cripple Creek and everybody decided to go to this city instead of fishing because my daughter and son had never visited Cripple Creek before.
We stopped at a beautiful restaurant inside the city. After, we decided to visit the museum located at the entrance of Cripple Creek.

The museum had a lot of history about the mines, the community and the technology from the l880's, 90's.

In the 3rd. floor of the museum they had arranged a regular home from the
l800's with maniquies wearing old clothes from these times, old furnitures, etc.

In the 2nd. floor we had a chance to see the technology about the older telephone, telegraph, printer machine, floor plans of the mines that were located under the earth, and also the newspaper from these times.

At the end of the day we drove to the city and then returned to our house. Then we prepared to go to help my sister start packing and moving all of her things, (furnitures, boxes,etc.)in to a uhaul truck.
