Happy Mother’s Day! <\/p>\n

Brendan is still not 100%, he is fighting this little cold. We still managed to have a successful trial of “the new bed”. It does not change much overnight, I still slept on the floor between the beds to take care of his equipment. What it did change is that we were able to put the boys to bed, turn on the monitor, and then we had a few hours of time where we could actually have the lights on in the living room. And speak.
\nThey were up early this morning, but slept solid through the night.

We wanted to explore something a little unusual today. We try to avoid the crowds. We went to check out “Arizona Falls”.

It is a hydroelectric plant on the canal system that has been turned in to a work of art and a place to explore and get a bit of a history lesson.

The boys did NOT like it. Trevor was terrified by the roaring water sound. It was pretty loud. Brendan didn’t do bad with it until Trevor got upset and then Brendan cried too!

I had hoped to take some cool pictures, but they didn’t allow me a lot of time. I got a few snaps.

Quick selfie. Notice who is missing? Bill was taking work phone calls in the car.

We tried to visit the big playground nearby that is actually next to the middle school where Bill went. It was a neat playground, but the sun was just too brutal and hot.

We had hoped to catch a really early dinner and dessert somewhere, but Bill ended up working again until it was too late to beat the dinner rush. I ended up taking the boys to Dairy Queen because we had promised them a restaurant.
\n\"429t02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They don’t know better. We still had fun.
\n\"429bt07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bill was able to join us for dessert.

Brendan has only a few days left to shake this cold so he can rock his sleep study. I hope it is a good week. <\/p>\n

I thought about my Grandma a lot today. I wish I could have been with my Mom and sisters for the cookout in the rain. \ud83d\ude00 My boys were highly emotional, loud, uncooperative and crazy today and it was enormously frustrating, but I still had a good day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
