Rope World

There's this retired gym teacher up in Longmont who puts together this elaborate obstacle course called Rope World for 2 weeks every year. It's amazingly cool and I wish it wasn't crowded and I didn't have to keep an eye on my boys (read: Isaac) so I could do the course myself.
We went last week, apparently on the first day, and it was the 3 of us and 2 other kids. Today we went back. Tomorrow is the last day and everybody showed up TODAY to have fun before it gets taken down.
We got to take a friend of Charlie's with us today. I think everyone had a pretty good time.

Don't Let Your Kids Lick Shopping Carts!

After much deliberating (seriously), I decided to run some of my errands at Wal-Mart. I am a Wal-Mart snob. I really don't like going there but this particular day, I couldn't justify the additional drive to Target. Plus, Wal-Mart has a paint section.
Isaac and Charlie like those carts with the seats for older kids in the back that makes the cart even more difficult to maneuver and when it's just Isaac, he likes to sit in the little pocket created by the seats. I looked down at him and he's actually got his mouth on the side of the plastic seat. Yuck!

And now... look at him:
Poor guy. He's got a fever, a stuffy nose and he even threw up once last night.
I remember thinking, while at Wal-Mart, if Isaac would in fact get sick from his germ snack from the shopping cart.
So, one more reason not to go to Wal-Mart. Yeah, because this would have NEVER happened at King Soopers or Target.
