The Meyer Family

Our trip is almost over! I am a bit bummed. I think I could use just a few more days or I am just really nervous about flying home with both the kids.
Drew returned home on Saturday, after his super “double bump” which he will need to explain. I have been trucking the kids around since then, with some help from my sister!

Saturday we went to the People’s Fair and the Larimar Chalk Art festival. It was a ton of walking and B feel asleep at the table during our late lunch at Rock Bottom on the 16th Street Mall, I think one of his highlights from this trip will include riding a city bus. Poor small town kid!
Sunday we headed out to Cherry Creek State Park. Hitting up some of my old stomping grounds, since I was a lifeguard for my summer job there for about 5 years in high school and college. We played in the sand and water at the beach then joined my grandparents, aunt and uncle and a cousin and his family (including 3 kids under 7) in the campground for a blazing hot time eating lunch outside my grandparents Super-Duper RV. Bryson had a wonderful time with my cousin’s two boys who are 4 and 7. They played in the water and got soaked with the water hookup and buckets. It was pretty hot, reaching about 100 degrees!
Monday my sister, Diane, and I took the kids to Great Plains Park, this park has a nice playground and a water fountain area where the kids can run through the fountains. I am sure you will see it in most of the picture since that seems to be the only place I have been getting out the camera.That evening I left B with Grammy and Papa to eat dinner with a high school/college friend. It was great to catch up and swap old stories but it does make me thankful for all the wonderful things I have in my life now.
Yesterday we met up with my childhood best friend, Angie and her son/my godson, Liam, to head back to the park. The boys had a blast and Nallia was not far behind. She is fearless and would crawl on the cement and 4 inch water to keep up with them. Sometime during the day she also found her second tooth making its way through. I noticed it as I was getting her in the car to head to my cousins house for dinner. It was quite the drive since the roads have changed a ton since I lived here and I ended up taking the GPS’s advice, which added about 20 minutes to the 75 mile drive. Again Bryson had a blast with my cousin’s kids. He got to drive a Power Wheel Fire Rescue Jeep! He also figured out their last name is Boisvert which he was just amazed at, since that is his middle name.
Today, Diane and I were hoping to take it easy but we ended up shopping all day! We went to two malls and even hit up CostCo and Target. We are hoping to get to the museum or a water park in the morning but after a 9pm run to Starbucks I am not sure how much sleep I will be getting ☺
