Ok so my family in Missouri has goaded and teased me all week with their glorious snow stories while we here in Fort Collins Colorado are riding our bikes. So, I am really being positive and enjoying our sweet weather. Actually I was very excited to attend First Night Fort Collins, maybe even ride our bikes for the first time this year. Usually it is so cold it is just to much for my young children and my patience. Today I was ready, heading to the local King Soopers to buy my "buttons" for the event. Then, about 6 different people including the Channel 7 weather remind me that a "front" or something is bringing in cold-cold weather on Thursday. Not just cold but cold-cold. REALLY! I mean come on. I joyfully embraced my spring like Christmas. I am waiting with great anticipation for an unseasonally warm New Year. Mother Nature can't you hold out for just another 30 hours? It's such a small request.
I always tell my children -- "suck it up camper." when they get whinny about the cold when we are camping and out on an adventure. So I guess I better follow my own advice. We'll break out the long johns and get out there and enjoy that fun family festival anyway. Maybe you should too! I mean come on, the event has singing pigs! We can't miss that!
