For Catholics

For Buddhists.  Feelin' Zen?

Standing by one of the replica planes.  Notice Liam Brown to the far right.  He and his father, Darren Brown, joined us for the day.  It was good to see them.  They are doing well and loving living in Colorado Springs.

Stunning view of the Cross.  Camera does not do it justice, but the glass behind is translucent, which gives you views of the mountains.

Beautiful stained glass throughout

That is some kind of pipe organ

Air Force Academy

The boys loved the Air Force Academy. Here are some things they saw:

Enterance to the Chapel.  Construction started in 1959 and was completed in 1962.  It cost $3.5 million.  Can you imagine what something like this would cost today?

Made it to Denver, and all packs made it! The boys are in awe of the mountains. First stop is the Air Force Academy. Mrs. Powell, Your cookies are awesome!

All Happy campers...

...just doin' a little cool runnin' mon!

Early rise, packs are checked, scouts are fed, and we are all on the plane headed to Denver. Thomas Brown's father is helping with shuttle service when we get there.
