Monday June 30th

Today Po and Anthony went fishing in the pond near the campsite, but there were no fish harmed in that experiment. This afternoon went to some of the goodwill/salvation army stores, looking for kid treasures. Found a bat and ball, basketball and some lawn darts, so it was a success. Stopped at the American park that is under the bridge and they have a great playground with some amazing equipment and before too long he was right in with the kids. He played very hard so really took some of the zip out of him. Stopped for an ice cream cone and got back here, set up the lawn darts and had a few games of that. Then dinner and now he is having a guitar lesson from John. Tomorrow we are driving up to Pikes Peak and stopping and fishing some of the lakes. Hopefully it will be a better fishing day. No pictures today, camera was on the charger.

Add on

Didn't want to lose what I had, so will continue with day 4. Went to the movie Wall-E, kids enjoyed it, but it was not for anyone over 10. Then we took Roinn home and met up with the guys for dinner. Had mexican and Anthony was not sure that he liked anything, but we got him full very easy. Back at the rv and have a movie on for him, after a 175 dollars they decided there was nothing wrong with the tv or connection, just that we are in Manitou! So that is all for the day.

More Faire Pictures









RENAISANCE FAIRE

The faire was a blast. Anthony thought it was not his thing, but once he got there and seen all the people looking like idiots, he got right into it. He tried jacobs ladder, didn't make it, baseball throw, never broke a plate, darts, no balloons were harmed, tomato throw, missed, but he did get one frog in a basket and for that he won a tiny plastic fly and he immediately tore off the wings. He was a very good big brother with Roinn, really watched over him, and took him on the rides, it was so cute. Then he tried the maze, we thought he was lost it took him so long.....but it was a lot of laughs and we all had a great time. He ended up looking like a pirate by the end of the day, dorag, skull necklace, and an awesome wooden sword . That was Cyndi's doing, no way was I paying 40 dollars for a piece of wood, but will have to admit that he likes it more than I would have thought.

Renaissance Faire



































Aaarrggg......pirates beware! Oh, what a day, didn't think that I would have a good time, but I was fooled. There was a lot to do. We ate, sausage on a stick, turkey legs, lots of good things. I was the big brother to Roinn, he was Captain Jack. Took him on some of the rides, and watched out for him, he is really very tiny. Kind of fun being a BIG brother.




Day3...Pancakes for breakfast, we didn't do anything today, spent it waiting for the repairman to fix the tv connections, but he didn't make it. Will tomorrow for sure. So I played lots of wii. Then we went to Cyndi's for dinner and then we had ice cream. Now watching a movie. When we got home there was another rv parked next to us, boy is it close. Can hardly get in the door. Next week we are going to the cabin and then when we come back will go to the air force academy. On the way to Cyndi's we seen this skunk with all these babies, and then later we seen them going under her deck, but no smell. Night now......writing this blog is not for me.



Anthony's take of the day


Day 2.....Got up this morning and had breakfast with Po, just cereal, but it was good. Then we got dressed and went and got hair cuts. When we got back Nana and I took a walk to the park, but only climbed on a few things. There is a small pond there and found out today that they stocked it last week, so think we are going fishing tomorrow. Played some with the wii and then we went to the movies, seen Get Smart. It was so funny. After wards we stopped at a place called Noodles. I had buttered noodles with shrimp and it was so good, Nana said that I should try new things, and maybe I will. LOL Got a movie (Call of the Wild) to watch, the TV hook-ups are not working so there is no TV . They have someone coming to see if they fix it tomorrow. Guess that is all for today.

Arrivial Day

Arrivial day-June 25th. Got up really really early. Dad took me to the airport. The airplane was kind of small, but there were lots of people on it. There was another kid flying but we did not get to sit together, he sat behind me. They gave us some snack, the bagel was old and disgusting, and the oatmeal cookie was even worse. Had sprite to drink, it was good. Took a nap, cause there was nothing to see, and then we got to Colorado Springs. Nana & Po were waiting for me, and we got my suitcase, and then went to McDonalds. I had a cheeseburger and blizzard, but my cheeseburger had no cheese! Got to the trailer and seen 2bits, she still hates me. Then I took another nap, traveling is hard work! When I woke up aunt Cyndi was here and we went and had pizza. I had my own cheese pizza, it was good. Then we went to the arcade and played some of the games. Came back to the trailer and watched a movie and went to sleep. That is all for today.
