First afternoon in town -- we were all crazy tired and it was seriously hot, but we made a stop at "Rocket Ship Park" (aka Scott Carpenter) for a little bit of fun before checking into the hotel. Lorelei seemed unimpressed.
Why are they smiling like this, you ask? Breakfast at the
Southside Walnut Cafe, of course.
Outdoor adventures! Lorelei and I did a lot of exploring together while Jason/Daddy was at his conference. Apparently inspired by the mountains, Lorelei decided she wanted to climb everything in sight, safe or not. Here she is in the shadow of the foothills with her first attempt at bouldering (pun definitely intended).
Playing in the fountain on Pearl Street -- Lorelei was too nervous to actually go into the water part, but she seemed to enjoy standing and pointing at all of the other kids. Another little boy was enamored with her (and our entourage -- see below) and kept coming up to say hello and give us hugs.
Lorelei and I were lucky enough to get to spend the afternoon with Hannah and Lena, aka The Lorelei Fan Club. (I think they have t-shirts.) We paraded up and down Pearl Street together and they were awesome with her -- playing with the big rocks in front of Peppercorn, pushing her stroller that was too short for me (thanks, Lena), and putting up with her tired/cranky ways. Afterwards, Lorelei and I had dinner together at BJ's Brewery -- pretty proud that we both made it through that one relatively unscathed. Thank goodness for interesting foot traffic and an attentive waitress! Before we left, two drunk girls told Lorelei she had the most beautiful eyes and that she should "always remember that." Documenting it here for posterity!
