A big thumbs up to our third, and longest, airplane ride. The boys did really well. Really, really well. We had a borderline crazy fit of laughter towards the end of the flight, but the other passengers didn't know we were approaching level 5 meltdown, so they thought it was cute. Kudos to me for packing snacks and more coloring books than we could ever complete in a 3 hour span. This day was mostly packing, traveling, and getting to our week-long accommodations.Not much to report there.
But early the next morning we were up and ready to sightsee! Check out our cool dude shades. Yeah, they are a little crooked, but no one has ever shopped a dollar store for quality.
With every trip, we take a picture of the state's license plate on our rental. Here you go.
I don't know what other people do when they plan a vacation, but I start by looking for good places to eat breakfast, and then I plan the rest of the day's activities around that particular morning's breakfast spot. Maybe not the best strategy for our waistlines, but whatever people, I love breakfast. This morning we took a friend's advice and went to
Cozy Cottage to fuel up. And I am so glad we did-everything about this place I loved. The location, the outside patio, the food, OMG, the food, and I also loved the fact that the kids could wander about the patio because we were the only people there that early.
Thoughout the trip we spent most meals coloring while we waited for our food. Coloring session #1 went well.
And the eating that followed it went well. These pictures are for my parents, who always take pics of their food. NomNom.
On this particular day we were going to a rehearsal dinner for a wedding we were attending, but thanks to waking up really early due to the time zone change we had many hours to explore. We drove to Boulder and explored a bit.
So the reason we picked Denver as our vacation spot is because of this lady getting married. There, next to me is a lady who I have known and babysat since she was 2.5 adn her brother, pictured here was 1.5. Yikes. That'll make a girl feel old, ya know? We had a good time at her rehearsal dinner, playing, chatting, catching up and running about.
I cannot believe she is so old. Nor can I believe I am so old.
I bet her mom cant believe it either.
Who knows what this guy was thinking.
Looking back on the day, it all felt like a blur, but this still stands out in my mind. The boys were playing on the playground and someone got a booboo. A tiny, tiny, tiny little booboo that in this child's mind was enormous. For an hour or so a wet napkin was held against this little nick in the skin, and every few minutes we were given an update not only by the patient but also by his very vocal nurse. I don't know if I remember it because it was unusual for C to be so dramatic, or if it was especially endearing how G took care of C. Either way, it was a sweet ending to a long first day of vacation.
