Wednesday night, after meeting up with Mike's family at the airport for dinner while they had a layover on their way to their Alaskan cruise..the jerks (not that we are bitter or anything , or counting down the days until he is done with school so that we can travel again) I took the girls to Fort Collins to sleepover at my friend Erin's house. We didn't arrive until after ten because there was some road construction and we were going about 10 mph, so annoying! So the girls didn't sleep well...or the moms, but we got up and headed to Cheyenne, Wyoming to Frontier Days.
The real low point was when Sophie got sunscreen in her eyes and screamed and flailed around for a good hour while my nerves quickly fried. It didn't help that the lady next to me kept saying "oh, poor little guy" and I wanted to yell- "it's a girl!" I usually don't care because EVERYONE thinks she is a boy but I was so DONE.
Ken and Isabel on the Dumbo ride, after which Ken told me "that wasn't that much fun" just so she could ride something else since I told her that she could only ride one thing.
Above we have the Native American dancers that the kids watched while I dealt with Soph and below we are watching the parade which was interesting and scandalous. There was even a float with an old west tavern and women in interesting outfits drinking beer at ten in the morning- good times.
I had a few people yell from floats- "love that red hair." Ken gets comments all the time about her hair and her legs..she has abnormally muscular legs for a little girl. So on the way home she asked me, "mom did you have legs like me when you were little?" It cracked me up, and she continued to ask, "or where your legs fat, skinny or what?" No comment Ken.

WOW what an adventure! I'm hoping that we can go back to having regular adventures soon instead of all of these over the top crazy things!!!
So fun--you hid your fried nerves well. And, that pic of you with all of the kids is so so cute.
I can't wait to see Sage's pics of the floats--she got pics of the "questionable content" floats. Ha ha! Nothing like Old West hookers in a parade!
Still laughing - I can just see the annoyance in your face.
Funny, Funny! I am laughing about the legs questions. I probably shouldn't say anything about her legs in front of her but they are seriously awesome!! She will love them as she gets older. What a girl!
