Adventures

Maternity leave is great... Every day has been adventure, some at home and some out and about. We recently drove up to Nederland, a mountain town up from Boulder, to enjoy their Carousel of Happiness. It is an indoor carousel in the heart of town that attracts both munchkins and adults. Nevi was a bit afraid of it at first but seemed to warm up to it after a while. Unfortunately,the day we choose to drive up there was also Frozen Dead Guy Days (an annual celebration honoring a man who lives up there - dead on ice...very strange) so the town was PACKED. We wanted to eat at the local pizza place but EVERY restaurant is town was BUSY. So instead of enjoying a leisurely day in the mountains, it was cut short due to these circumstances. The drive was beautiful, though, and we sure had fun. Coda was in my carrier the whole time and really seems to like car rides.

Also bolgged some photos of Nevi's birthday here at the house. We opted not to have a big party but enjoyed a nice family day together with cake, presents and playtime. She LOVES being 3. Thanks to everyone who helped make her day so special.

Been spending lots of time at Waneka Lake, a park 1 mile from our home that has a shaded play ground. We like to hike around the lake (1.2 miles around) and throw rocks and sticks. It never gest old, just hanging outside on a beautiful day.
