My Adventure...

We arrived in Denver...
It was truly the easiest travel day of my life.
I hope this isn't an omen, but a sign of the greatest trip of all time!

When we last met, I was planning my big Rock Chick Adventure here in Denver. Well, we are currently still in the planning stages since I haven't been anywhere but my in-laws' house and am only leaving today to drop Jeff off somewhere so he can do something crazy like buy us a new car. What?

It's hotter than a biscuit here in Colorado. Not North Carolina hot like my dad likes to say, but hot none the less. It is currently 87.3 degrees and will only get hotter. The kids biked to the park this morning while I "jogged" alongside them. According to them, this was torture; the worst idea ever! It was too hot. They were going to die. "The heat! The heat is too much mom!"

Because I don't like being accused of torturing small children who exaggerate greatly, we are currently doing this....
Girl got air....

Poor Jeff had to jerry rig (and that is what it is called because I looked it up) the thing with packaging tape. This is how we roll around here!

The pool opens at 3pm, so that is where we will be spending the afternoon. I won't "force" the children to walk or bike there. I am a great mom that way!

PS: I have made reservations at one Rock Chick Stop, The Barolo Grill, but there will be many of those over the next 12 days. I guarantee it. Even if I have to hire babysitters and force a friend to accompany me. I am THAT determined!

PPS: I will not mention that I had my MIL's macaroni and cheese for breakfast and her Buffalo Chicken Dip with chips for lunch. This will not be spoken out loud. Just sayin....

She's back. She's back. The picture of Jim and James on bikes is the pic of the year. If I wasn't already a collage artist, this would inspirer to become one.
