Olde Town

Finally got everyone to Olde Town Arvada last Thursday. We had been trying for a couple of weeks but the weather was not cooperating and then there is that thing called life that kept getting in the way. As you all have heard, Addy was a bit of a pistol while we were there. This picture is of her and Lexy after ice cream. I had said to Matt before leaving the car that there was a big umbrella in the back and maybe we should grab it. He insisted it was going to be fine, that the clouds were going to move right by us. With that said, about 35 minutes later, we all ran to the car to get out of the downpour. I had the misfortune of wearing a white shirt, and the boys were the only ones not completely soaked thanks to the stroller having mini-umbrellas. When you pack seven wet people in a vehicle there is a funk that starts to smell immediately! It was a good thing we didn't have far to go. Poor Garhett was so upset from being yanked out of his seat in the stroller and being tossed into his car seat! We weren't being as gentle as we normally would, for one thing the water was running off my head and into my eyes, another was that we still had his brother sitting in the stroller. For whatever reason, Brenden waited patiently until we got to him. Putting three kids into car seats quickly is not that easy. We did however, manage to get everyone in the car safely, dryly, that is another matter. Being wet never killed anyone. Anyone that I have ever known anyway. Hey, it saved us on having to give the little people a bath that night!
