Reporting Live From Denver!

I thought about titling this post "Sleepless in Denver". Though that would have been an accurate title, I thought I would focus on the positive. That being said, if this post is short or nonsensical, please be aware that my kids have both been waking up several times a night since we've been here... and Normy thought it would be a good idea to start the day at 3:30 am Mountain Time. I was NOT raring to go at that hour, understandably. I fell asleep on my sister's sofa instead of keeping an eye on him while he played with his cousin's toys. A little while later I awoke to find that he had gotten the carton of eggs out of the fridge and broke one all over the carpet in the play room. When I walked bleary eyed into the room he was covered in shell and playing with the yoke. "Broken egg, Mama!" That was around 5:30...

So, I'm focusing on the positive. We have had a couple of fun adventures since we arrived here on Saturday. The first was a trip to Tiny Town. The kids loved all the miniature houses and the train ride was the star attraction. A great time was had by all.






Today's adventure featured a trip to a local park complete with fountains. The kids had a blast, despite a rocky start. Normy was pretty freaked out by the geyser at first. But, after seeing his fearless sister and playful cousin charge on in, he dried his tears and commenced chasing them with glee.




I'm praying for a full night's sleep tonight. If it happens, there will likely be more posts and pictures to come. If not, well I'm not sure.

Oh Becca. I feel for you. Ah, that's the reason I decided to vacation without a time change this time. San Diego it is! Thanks for reaffirming my presumption. I do hope you have gotten more sleep. BTW, Lukie also hates those water fountains. He will only jump in if Seneca or someone he knows goes in first. Ah, our boys are so similar.
