Just a quick update about our week...the most exciting part is that we have a new ticker - we are going on a camping trip to the Royal Gorge over Labor Day weekend! We will leave on Saturday morning and spend the day at the Royal Gorge Bridge park, then check in to the KOA that night. On Sunday morning we have 9:30am reservations for the Vista Dome Car on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad! We will spend the rest of the Day in town, maybe visit the Dinosaur Depot. On our way out of town on Monday I am hoping to check out the Canyon City Riverwalk. So a spur of the moment trip, but hopefully it will be fun.
The weather has finally cooled down, it has been raining and storming like crazy the last few days, mostly at night. Although it rained much of the day today, and was still cool and raining when I walked home from school. Normally I suppose that would have been unpleasant, but something about it made me really happy. Maybe it was just that it was a change. Maybe it was that I knew how badly we had needed the rain all summer. Or maybe it was just that I am so so so so so so so so so so TIRED of being hot! But mostly I just like the changing of the seasons, and the excitement that comes with it. And it definitely felt like summer was starting to give way to fall today. Though I'm sure we still have plenty more hot and dry days before it happens for real :)
The rest of the week has been fairly uneventful, school is as busy as ever, especially with teaching two subjects now. We are "in-between" extra-curricular activities. Swimming is done and soccer won't start for a week or two at least. Lily also wants to do ice-skating but that session is a couple of weeks away as well. So we have had a break in the afternoons. Although I had open house at school on Tuesday night, so that alone made it seem like a long week. Lily got her first visit to the ice cream truck on Wednesday, we had told her she earned it last week (can't remember what for) but we had been having trouble tracking it down. We heard it coming during dinner and ran out just in time! She got a rainbow snow cone. And we went to Old Chicago's again last night, we have gotten into the habit of that on Thursdays - Lily likes it because the balloon twisty lady is there :)
Well I am going to try to do the smart thing this weekend and actually get some work done at home - no big plans. But plenty of laundry and dirty dishes waiting for some attention...
