An Adventurous Fun Day!

Andrew is on Spring Break and so he and Mylie came down to spend a few days at Nana and Grandpa’s house. Yesterday I went over to hang out and play with them- and we had some fun. We walked to pick Grandpa up from work and on the way back we saw a lot of exciting things. We saw a big horned owl (with a rotating head), we walked through a swamp, we found perfect walking sticks and we saw fox holes. But the two coolest things about our walk were that we caught a snake and Andrew even held it, and Mylie touched it. It was slippery, but not too slimy. And we also got to swing across the river on rope swings. They were nervous at first, but they really enjoyed it.
















In the afternoon we went to the Longmont Rec Center and went swimming. Right after we got there they closed all the pools, except the lazy river, for swimming lessons. The kids are like little fish and they love to swim- so we spent almost two hours in the lazy river. The kids dove to the bottom to get things and we played bumper cars with the inner tubes. Afterward the kids got to climb on the rock wall. They each climbed up three times and they weren’t even scared! They were like little monkey’s they got up really fast and really enjoyed it!
























After the Rec Center we went back to Nana and Grandpa’s house and met up with Uncle Ben (who got off of work) and we had pizza for dinner. It was such a fun day! When the kids went to bed we realized that we are not young anymore and we are EXHAUSTED. After trudging through a swamp, spotting owls, catching snakes, swinging over rivers, swimming for two hours and playing inner tube bumper cars- I am warn out!! What an adventurous fun day!!
