Wake-Up Call

We made a quick trip to Denver this past weekend to get one more visit in with YiaYia and Bompa before the start of school.  Krissy and Andy were in France and Brady and Amy were in California so we had to share the love with Mom and Dad who were surely lonely:)  Due to all the rain, the sunflowers in New Mexico covered the fields and we had to take a picture (well I had to, the kids didn't really care about it).

We spent some time at the Children's museum.  Is Lola practicing wizardry or catching bubbles?

 The girls liked the bubbles

 

And Grayson liked organizing the grocery store and pizza kitchen...he put everything in the right place (wonder where he gets his organization skills?).

Then Matt and I went to a Snoop Dogg and Dave Matthews concert (they both smoke a lot of weed...that's the only connection, but oddly, there were a lot of people our age there.  We're just living in the past I guess:)  The kids stayed with YiaYia and went to the aquarium where they got to eat while watching mermaids and dessert was build-your-own sundaes.  They got to swim again while I shopped with my nieces

and then we celebrated Grayson's birthday with pizza and an ice cream cake before heading back to Amarillo.

I think the kids are going to be bored in school this week. Last week was a whirlwind of activity.  Monday, we went to the science museum, had a picnic lunch and then swam at the pool. Tuesday, we went to an outdoor music concert after the kids spent an entire day with Bobo, the entertainer...jump'n jive, lunch at the mall, back to school outfit, movie, and ice cream.  Wednesday we visited the library for story time and another trip to the pool and then Thursday, we visited teachers and swam a little before taking off to Denver.  Even though we had a somewhat normal Sunday, I think the kids are still recovering.  This is going to be a wake-up call week?!?!
