no humidity and an hour behind.

doing: relaxing. thats what vacation is for!
feeling: super tired! i'm going to bed asap!
watching: Cartoon Network.... apparently my kid requested to watch Batman, so thats what his uncles found on tv for him!!

this is day 2 of our vacation! we're having a good time-aside from the fact that my 3 year old has been basically grouchy the entire time.

we left around 8 on Thursday night and drove through the night. Ethan slept almost the entire way. he woke up once in Nebraska and freaked out-i dont think he was really sure where he was. then we got out to stretch our leggys later.. in Nebraska. that state is basically endless.... so he got some good sleeping in! he didn't wake up fully until we were in Denver. I slept for an hour or two on the drive. then matt made me switch and drive into Denver.

we got in about 7(CO time). stopped for breakfast and then went to Mike and Ruth (dad's brother) house. we woke them up! OPS! i got about an hours nap in on the couch before people started poking at me! we got ready and headed off to a water park in Lake Wood. Its called Pirates Cove! its basically just a bigger scaled aquatic center. it had a big play area for kiddos, a diving well/pool, a lazy river and 3 bigger slides. it was fun! we were there about 2 hours before Ethan started to get crabby. so we grabbed some lunch and headed downtown to the hotel!

we're staying right in the heart of downtown(i'll have to post pictures later) its been fun! everyone went to a Cubs vs. Rockies game Friday night while Ben and I (the cultured ones) headed off to the Denver Art Museum. Ben and i then walked around downtown for awhile. we hit up the 16th street mall, which is sort of comparable to the Chicago --what is is--Maricle Mile or whatever. its just got lots of shops over the span of like 20 blocks! we stopped at Rock Bottom Brewery and had a beer. GOOD beer too! we each got one of their bews and they were great!

today we met our family in random spots of the hotel. we all seem to have the same plan, walk around, we're a lively group! so we headed out to 16th street again and did just that! Matt and Elissa's wedding was at 3:30 so we packed ourselves up and headed off to that. it was in a little chapel that overlooked the mountains! it was very nice! the ceremony was 18 minutes-Mom timed it-and then we were headed back off to downtown Denver (to our hotel) where the reception is! we had good food and a few drinks, i got matt to dance with me..... once. and now its almost midnight and i'm ready for bed!

tomorrow is another adventure! i'm going to make matt get up early with me and do some more pictures in downtown Denver. there are some great buildings that i'd like to shoot! and i feel the least silly walking around with matt. he actually points things out to me and really enjoys himself! then were headed to fill another day!!

nighty night!!
