Day 5 of Vacation!

Today was a very restful day.  It was wonderful!  Everyone was happy, both kids were healthy, and Jeff got a good long nap in the afternoon while the kids played. 

This morning we had to make a Walmart run to get Jeff some medicine and decided to look for souvenirs for the kids (they had money to spend!) and for snow pants.  I didn't see any snow pants so I asked a worker and it happened that she was so helpful.  She had some in the back that would probably fit Rachel, but none for Zane.  I couldn't believe that she would go dig around in the back for them, but she did and here she came.  They were be perfect and were on clearance for only $7.00!  Score!  Zane and Rachel bought matching Colorado cups and toys!

They really have to step high to get in the truck!

 Our beautiful drive to Walmart!

 There is a road that goes on top of the Dillon Reservoir Dam.  It was really neat. 

Sometimes the road is closed.

Water on one side, baseball fields on the other!

Letting water out of the dam.

Netting for falling rocks.

 We went to a ski place next door that was having a 40% off sale.  Except that the pants were 69.00 or 99.00 to begin with.  Hmmm.  I know, thrift stores!  I went a couple and found Zane a pair, texted Jeff because he had them in the car, and they came in and Zane tried them on and they fit!  $5.00! Another score! And the money supported a good cause!  We are really happy we found bargains since we won't be using them very long. 

New Star Wars lego set for Rachey!

New water gun for Zane!  Do you think we should let him shoot water off the balcony?  :)

My snack girl!  Organization is key!

Our pretty girl is feeling much better today.

 This afternoon we went to the pool!  It's Zane's favorite thing.  It was alot of fun.  Tomorrow we will bring pennies and they can practice diving and getting them. 

My dry ice worked so well in the coolers that my meatballs and sauce didn't unthaw at all today.  I took them out of the freezer yesterday afternoon/evening and they were still frozen solid as a rock at supper time today.  We had to have chicken nuggets instead.  Maybe tomorrow we will have meatballs?  Who knows!  I decided I better take the enchiladas out to start thawing and maybe we can have them two days from now!  haha

Books before bedtime!  Rachel enjoyed reading Pete the Cat stories-she got a large collection of Pete the Cat books in one volume and then Zane wanted to read this Curious George book about rainbows.  And funny thing, it talked about a moose being possibly more dangerous than a bear!  I just thought it was cool how we had seen one and now they read about one!

 

 

Until next time!
