Today was our fun day (after waking up from a sleep study at 6 am, I mean)!

    We started our day off by driving out to Vail, realizing they hadn’t had nearly as much snow, and heading back towards Copper Mountain, where they had had plenty of it. None of the resorts or lifts open untilNovember 1st, but we found plenty of snow to play in regardless. It was both mine and Jonah’s first time to actually be in real snow. He LOVED snow balls and I tried to make a little snow man, but to be honest, I don’t know how to.  Even if I did, it wouldn’t have survived the wrath of a 5 year old little man with a goal to cover everyone in as much snow as possible. He made snow angels and rolled down hills and had a good time being a boy. 

    After that, we realized how close we were to Breckenridge where Jason and I went on our honeymoon, so we stopped at the lodge we stayed at and took a 10 years later family picture in the same spot that we took our first honeymoon picture at. We went down into the little town, saw Bubba Gump shrimp and the discussion about where to eat lunch at was over. Jonah LOVES shrimp (ok…I love shrimp. My love for shrimp is hereditary) so it was a pretty easy choice and an awesome lunch.

    At that point, I was exhausted (our sleep lab friend came in about once an hour for something and I woke up every single time, even though Jonah slept through them all) and Jonah was looking pretty tired, too. We came back to the house, wet wrapped Jonah, watched part of the disastrous UF game and took a nap. After naptime, it was pretty much dinner time, so we had dinner at the Ronald McDonald house, then went over to the aquarium where Jonah got to meet a few mermaids and watch the sharks for a while.

All in all, a super successful day with minimal medical experiences. He does have a few red dots from the glue used to hold on the leads during the sleep study, but the nurse at NJH said they should go away in a day or two with his normal creams.
