Weekend O' Fun

Our weekend started Saturday morning with cleaning house. No, that was not the fun part of our weekend. That was just the neccesity of the weekend. I like to start the weekend with a nice clean house so Saturday morning has turned into Clean The House Day.

M, Ta, and A met us at our place at around 11. From here, we headed over to the Mile High Flea Market. The kids and I had been once but Aaron had never been. There is nothing really special about the flea market. If you have been to one, you've been to them all. We didn't care though. We were outside in 50 degree weather in January and we were sharing the time with our cool new family members. While there we did the traditional hotdogs, funnel cake, and cotton candy. Aaron has decided that cotton candy is his new best friend. He was reading the calorie count and discovered that a large bag of cotton candy only has 114 calories. That's practically health food folks.

Later that night Aaron and I met M and Ta downtown while Poppie babysat for us. We had a fabulous night out without kids. I can't tell you the last time that I went barhopping. I'm not sure that what we did was considered barhopping but hey, we went into 4 different establishments. We had a great dinner of shrimp. It's not fresh off the boat shrimp like you would get in Carolina but it was still good.

After dinner we headed to the bars. Ta wanted to go into Coyote Ugly so she could say that she had been to one. We had a great time talking about the dancers on the bar. We even did some heavy drinking. Aaron had a beer and the rest of us had water. Once we finished our drinks we walked down for some more bar fun. We walked through one place but decided we didn't want to stand the entire time and we would like to talk to each other. Boy! are we old or what?!

Sunday Aaron and I were going to take the kids up to Breckenridge to see ice sculptures. We chickened out though. There was a 20% chance of snow up there. We did not want to get snowed in in Breckenridge. They close I70 all the time up there. Instead we went to the redneck show. Actually, it's the Internation Sportsmans Expo bla bla bla. They had a bunch of fishing and hunting stuff there. Campbell and Aaron did climb the rockwall though. We were so proud of Campbell for going all the way to the top. She didn't let the height scare her for once. She is growing up way to fast.

After our fill of sportsman bla bla bla we were going to go to an outdoor shopping mall. As we passed the zoo, though, Campbell asked to go there. So we did. We spent a couple of hours just walking through the zoo. Campbell wanted to see it all. She did. Caleb wanted to see Giraffes and Elephants and Zebras. He did. We all had a great time.

That folks, was our weekend. Now we are preparing for it to snow, AGAIN. We have had our fill of snow.
