Last Week

Last week it was Sean's Birthday. He turned 26. We really don't have a great 'party' or anything like that - though we did order huge pizzas for dinner (Sean does love a good pizza) - because I don't think we have ever succeeded in getting across the concept very well.

Nancy has been down with the flu bug for the last few days and Sean's aide has been on vacation so it has been down to Dad, for the most part, to keep Sean as occupied as possible. So yesterday I took the day off from work so that Nancy could rest up and Sean and I hit the great outdoors. We fed horses, we took the dogs for a walk down to a neighbor's fenced field where they could run around and Sean and I could stroll like Lords of the Manor. It was great - well I enjoyed it, Sean is not a big fan of walking.

Then we took off to go swiming at Fitzsimmon's pool in Aurora. Let me put a plug in here for the staff at Fitzsimmons - they all know Sean (he goes there most days) they are friendly and fun and I just love that pool. Aurora Coloado - look after your staff at Fitzsimmons - they are all good people.

So Sean and I got into the pool and started doing some laps. Now I was pooed after 8 lengths (not being very fit and all) Sean was just enjoying himself - swimming along and turning somersaults as he swam.. man, he just loves being in the water. We took a little break and then back into the pool. After trying to keep up with Sean for an hour of solid swimming I called it a day. Sean walked along perkily, Mick walked along like his legs were made of rubber..

It was a lot of fun.
