We pulled into Boulder, Colorado on Wednesday, after 5 days of camping, and checked into a little hotel for a two day stay. In that time we ate some good food cooked by others (and those others did the dishes too!) and saw a wonderful outdoor play- The Three Musketeers. Here are two funny quotes from our boys during our Boulder stay: Jon stumbled across an outdoor evening viewing of a mountain bike video and we walked over to watch it. It was put on by Clif Bar and they were offering tours of their bus (a bus tour, rather than a tour bus?) but Theo and I decided to wait in the ampitheater. While Eli and Jon were gone a Clif bar rep happened by and gave me a free t-shirt and Theo a bike hat. Theo plopped it on his head at a rakish angle and said, "I am going to flaunt this over Eli! I NEVER get to flaunt anything and I am SO going to flaunt this!!!!" He spent the next 10 minutes in high anxiety, strutting back and forth in his new hat and when Eli reappeared he let the flaunting begin. Eli didn't seem to notice, but it was pretty high quality flaunting. Later, (and related in no other way besides that both quotes were spoken in Colorado...) we were reading Harry Potter book 5 and Professor Umbridge was handing out educational decrees left and right limiting freedoms. Eli listened to her latest decree then said thoughtfully, "Somebody better take Umbridge aside and tell her a little bit about Ceaser. He was happily making new laws and thought everything was fine, then he walked into a room and everyone there was clutching a dagger...." Below are shots from our epic snowball fight at the top of the pass on our way to Jon's pal Darrin's cabin.
