Day #5 part 2

I forgot that after we saw the waterfall, we went to Manitou Springs.  ( for part one, click here.  To start at day one, click here.)  I wasn't sure what we would do there, but there was supposed to be little shops and restaurants.  There was also 7, I think, different springs feeding out of Manitou Springs - ah, there is meaning to names.  When we got to the town, the shops didn't look all that neat.  And the restaurants not that inviting.  And the first two springs we went to, weren't, well, springing... hehe.... The third spring was running.  I was so excited.  I filled my water bottle, to a slug, and ECH!  Tried not to make a scene.  Boy was it GROSS.  So, being the loving wife that I am, I went back to my hubby and said here, this one was working.  He took a big drink and he didn't care if he made a scene.  He spit it all out.  HEHEHHEHE.....   After that we left the town and headed back to Woodland Park.  There was a restaurant there that I had wanted to try out.  I had a hankering for ribs.  They were ok.  Now, I believe, that is the end of day #5......

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
