A Semi Relaxed Week



We were so relaxed this week, we forgot to post yesterday!  We had a "semi-relaxed" week and it was a nice thing!  I only had 3 days of school which means mom and I had the battle of the homework only 2 nights instead of the usual four.  Those battles can be epic so it was a nice change.  I had Thursday and Friday off school and since mom has no PTO, she only took Thursday off and dad took Friday off.

Thursday, mom and I hit our awesome little zoo.  You will notice that I am wearing long pants and a jacket- we only had a high of 69 degrees!  We about froze to death- I spent most of the morning complaining about how dang cold it was.  This was a very different child from the one that didn't want to come in from the freezing snow in Denver.  How far we've come in a short time.
It was an awesome day to be at the zoo because the cooler temperatures brought out all the animals.  The zebras were galloping, the elephants were playing, the giraffes were munching...




Friday, mom headed back to work and dad and I hung out, getting the RV ready for another camping trip.  We went to Catalina State Park which is an easy 30 minute drive from our house and it was amazingly perfect.  The views were awesome, the weather was warm, the skies were clear.  We got there about 4:30, mom and dad popped an adult beverage and we headed out for a little hike.






That night, it was so clear that we laid out on our picnic table watching the stars.  Dad knows a thing or two about astronomy so he taught me about the Big Dipper, the North Star, we found the Milky Way too so it was a pretty cool evening.

In the morning, mom headed out for a nice long run while dad and I got breakfast going.  When mom got back, we went out for another short hike before packing it in and heading home.

Mom and dad had forgotten how pretty it is out there and we have plans to go back soon.

We got home from our camping adventure about 11 and I was kind of a crabby basket case.  Might have had something to do with the little cold I caught from my friend Julia when she "accidental coughed in my face".  Dad talked me into laying down and resting with him and I fell asleep for two hours.  It was awesome for everyone!

That night, mom and dad headed out for a date night with some good friends and my very favorite pre-school teacher of all time came over to hand out with me.  It was such a fun night!  I showed Ms Barb all of my toys in my amazingly neat and tidy (not!) room, showed her around our backyard, then we skipped down to Frost for some gelato, came home and watched a movie.  She can come back anytime and I hope she does.
Sunday was just a nice, quiet rest day.  Dad got in a long bike ride, grandma Sue stopped by for a bit, I played a little Minecraft and all was right with the world.
Hope everyone has a great week!
