Who knew working out for two hours could be so much fun? The spin class Friday night was really great. The coach did an outstanding job of making the time pass quickly. We rode for 90 minutes, took a short break to refill water bottles and stretch, and then rode for another 30. The music selection was top notch with even a few DMB songs thrown in. Then we enjoyed fresh smoothies and Sunchips!
I once had a brother who read to me.....he gets to practice his out loud reading skills, she gets read to by her brother, while Nathanael is doing make-up work from the class he missed yesterday and Noah is doing his laundry. Dad has time to clean up from dinner and we are all awaiting moms return from the hair stylist.
Nathanael is home sick today, so we are finding things to do to help pass the time. He had breakfast, did some homework, and now he is working on drawing van goghs "stary night." They will be working on this piece in art in several weeks, but he couldn't wait to get started. Nathanael is really discovering his artistic ability. I can't wait for the art show in May to see what else he has created!
Beats!! Bears!! Battlestar Galactica!! I know its a cheesy Office reference, but it true! When you are the last two people in the Liquid Room the employees break out the crazy stuff. Here is the brew made from beats. It was terrible. Unless you like beats of course.
It's looks like this guy is having fun tonight. Is a bucket list goal to shut down the New Belgium liquid room on a Saturday night??? If it is, then we can both check it off. Is this fun? It is because Andrew just said "this is fun."
We have arrived at the third of three brewerys on the tour tonight. I am enjoying Drews Lips of Faith and my all time favorite, Abbey. What a great birthday present. Thanks Andrew.
We have made it to the second of three brewerys tonight. The highlight here is the "Common Ground" and beer made with coffee!! That would be two of my three favorite things!!
Two bottles of Friek!! What a great birthday present from Big D. We are about done at Odells and are getting ready to head down the street to Fort Collins Brewery and then possibly New Belgium. Bottoms up!!
Big D getting ready to start the tasting try. Odells is also celebrating the release of "Friek", their newest brew. Live band, lots of people and cupcakes!!
She loves her grandpa! Thanks again to my favorite dad for all the help on the family homestead this past week. Sure was great to get some things cleaned up around the house, have a nice lunch at Culvers, and make a quick run to see Jen's classroom. It was fun. I know this because when we were pulling up the carpet, you said to me "Ryan, this is fun."
It is all you can eat pancakes and sausage at Applebees this morning as a fundraiser for Frontier Academy. At least it was until our group arrived. Now its more of a fundloser. At least its fun. I know this because they said "this is fun."
Half way through Super Bowl week, so we decided to celebrate and have dinner out together as a family. After much discussion, we decided on Chinese food at a local restaurant owned by a Frontier family. It was great being together as a family. Only 3 more days to get through! The two routes I cover ran a combined $82,000 for the week. That's a lot of chips.
Still going strong. Sarabeth on the slides, the boys on the lazy river, dad with his cell phone and the new Outside magazine. They only seem to slow down for the few food rations I brought. More good news from Greeley: the outside temp has finally risen above 0.
The little blue blur in the middle of the GREAT BIG SCARY water slide is non other then Sarabeth herself. She loves it. No fear at all in that little girl. Kids are still going strong after almost three hours!
It's adult swim currently so that means it time for a snack! The big water slides and dump bucket open at 3, so there is still plenty of fun to look forward to.
For the second day in a row, all schools in Greeley were closed due to the extremely cold temps and windchill. After spending two and a half days at home over the weekend, then being cooped up all day yesterday, the kids had a bit of pent up energy. Off to the Family Funplex!! Hopefully four hours in the pool will wear them out. Note the heart that Sarabeth is making with her hands. She learned that from Taylor Swift. Cute huh?
