This post was supposed to be about my family’s adventures in Aspen last weekend.
How we stayed at the base of Snowmass Mountain and were swept up the mountain in a snowcat sleigh ride to enjoy a gourmet dinner.
And don’t forget about the glorious skiing and how much the children would have relished playing at Snowmass’ infamous Treehouse Kid’s Adventure Center.
Instead, I shall document my week by Facebook posts.
Wednesday
Do you know those days when you love everything about being a parent and can’t get enough of your kids? TODAY WASN’T ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
Thursday
Tip: Do not EVER complain when you’ve had a bad day. Because GUARANTEED the next day can always get worse.
Tomorrow’s trip to Aspen can’t come soon enough.
Friday
Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, it does. I was up all night with puking Bode. Canceled Aspen trip. Officially going into mourning. Trip postponed until late-February, barring yet another disaster.
================
Bode started to feel better on Saturday so we salvaged the weekend by eating dinner at glorious Zengo, going for a long walk along the river and attending a free day at the zoo. I’ve always loved the polar bears but felt a kinship with them when I read their plaque: the females spend most of their adult lives either pregnant or caring for their young.
After the last week I had, I definitely knew the feeling.
The quote of the day was Hadley’s. For a bit of background, the kids are really into the whole Land Before Time series and love learning about dinosaurs and their babies. Hadley’s quote?
“Daddy, that giraffe is sitting on a big EGG!”
It was his scrotum.
