Is This August?

When I was telling Chris good-bye for work this morning he opened the door and I felt something strange. A cool breeze. I was a bit dumbfounded. I looked at him and said is it cool? He said it felt like late morning in Colorado.

Mckenzee and I went to the back door to look at out and when I opened it she scrunched her little arms to her sides and shook them and said cold. Well, I know it wasn't cold, but it sure was a different feeling than she had felt when we opened the door for a while now.

Then, I did something I'd never thought I'd get to do in the middle of August. I turned off my air-conditioner and left the back door open and went and opened a window. Mckenzee and I looked out and then it started to rain and we listened to the rain.

I am going to make chicken noodle soup today. Mckenzee has been sick this week. Yucky sick. Hard on a pregnant Momma. I had to call in Daddy from work once. Viruses are not 24 hours with her. She had it for 3 days. I am hoping she is past it today. She played last night and ate some crackers. It's a perfect day for soup. I wish it would stay like this all day and rain and rain and rain. Thunder would be even better.

Little Girl in a Pot

COLORADO: Cripple Creek

This was our final stop on our trip. We had rented a home from vrbo.com with my parents that was very close to Cripple Creek, but actually in Florissant. It was so awesome, better than it's pictures! It was a 3 story home on 70 acres. It had a wrap-around deck with a hot tub and a great view. There were three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Every room had king-sized tempur-pedic beds. There were two living rooms, a huge kitchen and two giant tvs with satellite and a computer with high speed internet. It was very clean, the furniture looked brand new, and they let us bring our dog....all for $175 a night that we split with my parents! We couldn't have booked a hotel room in town for that.

We had a lot of fun at this place. We went into Cripple Creek for a day. We are gambling baptists. ha! Just on vacation. All the casinos in Colorado are smoke free which totally rocked! Mckenzee took a two hour nap on a couch in the lobby of one casino and we just took turns sitting by her. You'll also notice that on vacation we break our sugar rule and let her have suckers. It helps when we are shopping.

The pictures below also show some really cool sand sculptures.

COLORADO: Royal Gorge

This was my least favorite part of our vacation, but I love my husband so we went. I have a serious fear of being near edges....edges over-looking gorges to be specific. I was brave and walked across the world's highest suspension bridge with him and our toddler. The best part about Royal Gorge was that they had rock candy in the gift shop. I'm a real sucker for rock candy. We also saw our first chipmunk here and he was a friendly little fellow.
