this weeks wrap-up :) hee hee

Ive been waiting awhile for something special to arrive. Something I probably didnt need but just had to have. Didymos (my most favorite brand of baby wrap) was set to release a new wrap. It was to be made of linen and feature some super cute fishies! Before I had a chance to resist, i had pre-ordered one and so i waited, and waited and eventually the fish swam my way. they were oh so beautiful. they were titled steel blue (to match my pike's eyes :) and when they arrived they nearly swept me off my feet. The golden threads woven throughout the blue glistened like silk, yet were as sturdy as canvas with a texture somewhere in between. The beauty was impossible for me to capture in a pic but i tried anyway lol

We decided to take him for a test drive today and wanted to check out something new in the process. Somehow we decided to visit the Shrine of the Sun. From our new house with the amazing few of the mountains, we can see the shrine every day, but it looks pretty teeny up there. It was built as a memorial to Will Rogers and houses a chapel as well as the bodies of some of Colorado Springs most famous founders. As we drove up the mountain the kids got so excited. Apparently it resembles Rapunzels tower!! who knew? Once we did the mini-hike we met ample disappointment when they realized there was no princess, only a dead guy :( but we climbed the whole tower anyway. Other than showcasing some amazing views colorado springs/ broadmoor hotel and golf course

and a few million photos of Will Rogers, there wasnt a whole lot to do up there besides a tiny Co Springs museum. We thought we would add something fun to the outing and decided to check out a movie. On the way in Beau opened the door of the theatre, not noticing the little guy running to open it first. This resulted in a collision and a pretty bad gash to my little Pearce's forehead. We immediately left and rushed home to see if it required stitches. Dr. Dad fixed it up and decided his prognosis was good and the little guy bounced back fast. He quickly realized we weren't at the movies anymore wanted to do something fun :( It was dinner time by now so we loaded back up and headed to The Airplane Restaurant. Just a normal eatery with a giant plane halfway inside the place. You can eat inside the plane as well but there was no table big enough and no highchairs allowed :( we were bummed but chose a nice table under the wing right next to the prop. The food was OK but the theme definitely was the star. We pretty much had the place to ourselves considering everyone else waits forever to eat in the plane lol. the kids ran around, did their best to turn the prob, hopped on and off the landing gear and had a blast. While I was ordering a Piper Club :) , Beau took Pearce to the potty. It featured airplane landing and take off noises, which Pearce found confusing and for the rest of the meal he kept announcing we were taking off, then crying when we didnt , but it was amusing. We ate and laughed and even Pike enjoyed itmostly because there were lots of free pickle spears, his favorite treat!! Perfect end to a not so perfect day ........now on to the next :)
