Boulder County Fair
A day to remember. The kids got all day passes on the rides, and were loving it. We did see the animals, art exhibits, equestrian competitions, and such, but the rides are what the kids loved most. No surprises there.
Believe it or not, Sierra actually went on this ride and loved it!
Bailey was too short to go on the older kids rides. She was so bummed. She still had fun anyway.
Blake was scared and practically cried the first time he went on the pirate ship. He got over it though and it became his favorite.
Daddy had fun too.
Sierra got to go on a lot of the older kid rides with one of her friends. They had a lot of fun together.

Back to Normal-FINALY!
We started school this week.
It's really nice to have a semblance of routine to our days again. I didn't realize before how much I appreciated that. Really.
These last few weeks have been listless blahs. Cleaning, shopping, cooking-they all went haphazard. Oh, there were fun days too, like when we went to the fair, but most of it was spent sitting around being very unproductive. Reading binges, anime binges, playing at the pool. . .it all gets boring after a while.
Don't get me wrong. Vacation is very nice. I've just realized that there can be too much of it too.
I'm thinking next summer we'll only take one month off. Two, while nice, was way to long.
