A Almost Perfect Sunday

Once again another beautiful winter day here in Cheyenne...we decided to make a trip to Fort Collins to do a little shopping that cannot be accomplished here in Cheyenne....before we made our way to Fort Collins we started the morning with great Sunday morning music that begged us to get up and dance and sing our way thru the morning.........then off to Fort Collins........
Our Deals.......

We found a great children shoe store called Stride Shoe Store.....Dylan got his first really nice pair of shoes for children...it was nice to have him sized properly and to find good pair of summer sandals......he is wearing a 5 Wide.........poor kid going to have big wide feet just like his mom....they were very affordable for such good quality...I think as he gets older and shoes become more and more important we will be making the trip to get his shoes at this store...

Collin picked up a great pair of running shoes at REI...he had a gift certificate plus a 20% off coupon.......he is very happy with his shoes........and such a good deal

We finally made our way to Babies/Toys R Us........I hate this store..........such a rip off for the most part...........but we needed to by some baby proofing items........and they were the same price as the ones I wanted online so we bought probably twice as much stuff as we needed..........but better safe than sorry.........ouch we left $115.00 poorer.........

My favorite purchase of the day well 2nd favorite.....a child size Adirondack chair for 6 bucks

Finally I can say the whole families favorite purchase.....was a very nice Chariot side car that attaches to our bikes for Dylan...we are so excited about this summer and taking Dylan with us on our bike rides ....after some research we decided that this would work better for our needs than a bike trailer it is really pretty cool and will allow me to also take Dylan confidently.......it is quite a initial investment but we think over the years the enjoyment will easily pay for it self..

We were initially concerned about such a long day in Fort Collins that we might run into a tired and frustrated little baby...........but Dylan handled it all like a champ....he really is such a easy baby.....he took the whole day in stride...he enjoyed all the shopping and loves to watch people.....he cat napped between stores....and once we stopped to eat lunch....he didn't miss a beat...had lunch with Mom and Dad and then nestled into his car seat for a nice long nap on the way home........it is amazing how he just fits in so perfect with all of our activities he just pretty much is up for whatever comes his way.........

We are now home...... the whole family eating a little Spaghetti and Meatballs......by the way...wasn't so sure about the meatballs yesterday but today........they were very good...moist and light....not to heavy and good flavor....I will tweak the recipe just a little.........we are now finishing our evening with more music....crawling....and will take a bath with Dillybar as soon as I sign off ..........with that ...almost a perfect day..........perfect would have been a coupon for all of our purchases for free............
