Daddy's Official Declaration

Monday morning I woke up and declared, "Today, my children, is Daddy-Family workday!" After the roar of the crowd died down a bit, we packed up our needed supplies and headed for Glenwood Springs. It is a wonderful little tourist spot located about 1hr and 15 min from our home in Grand junction. I quickly completed my needed work and then we headed off to ride the tram to the top of the mountain. While on top we rode the alpine slides, wow were they fast! We then went back down to warm ourselves in the Yampa vapor hot pools. Hmmmm, warm. Here are some pics of our day. Enjoy.

Daddy family work day

Well, we woke up Monday morning and Katie looked at me and said, "Daddy, today is daddy-family work day, and we are coming with you!" What is a Daddy supposed to do when he hears that? I'll tell you- Plan a really fun day!!!! So we did. We drove to Glenwood Springs, (about an hour 15 min drive into the mts) got pizza at my fave lil mom-n-pop pizza shop and then I dropped them all of at Target so they could walk around and look at toys (and buy Marlee some underwear, which is a different post) so that I could hurry up and hit my accounts. A lil while later I came back and picked them all up and we were off to play.

If you know my kids at all, you know that they LOVE to swim, (Lizzie included) and so we went swimming in an outdoor pool in 20 degree weather in the mountains of Colorado. You might say that were crazy, but the pool is an ancient hot springs pool, that is 104 temp year round! Actually, there are two pools, 104 and 90 degrees. In the summer there is a waterslide running. It was absolutely beautiful, lots and lots of steam, blue skies, snowy mountians and my family. It was a very fun Daddy-family work day. :) Here are some pics.
