Living here in Colorado and realizing that with a newborn there is no easy way to travel outside of the US for sometime. My wanderlust is onset, it's like a disease. So I figured I would quinch my thrist in country. Within short distances. I have been researching some fun things to do here and in the USA I learned of some unusual festivals here that I want to go to at least once.
The first one being the Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland CO, yes I know it sounds odd but a winter feastival is always fun especially when it's in celebration of a grandpa frozen in ice awaiting for reaniamination. The parade of hereas is a bonus and the tour of the shed sounds hileriously funny to see. I'm sad I missed it this year.
Fruita CO has it's Mike the headless chicken Fest, the town of Fruita celebrates a chicken that has survived years without a head. Weird doesn't even describe it. I think the reason the city of Fruita made it up to compete with Palisade. The Peach Festival is well own and loved by all. Fruita has a chicken that has survived being headless therefore they using it to make a buck. The festives include a chicken dance, contests. Sounds like a no brainer.
Another feastival for all you environmentalists is the Beetle Feastival to raise awareness of how a particular beetle is damaging the woods up in the mountains. They have a beetle stomp where no beetles get damaged in the 4K run yet the runners can dress up in costumes. I think of the Santa 10K in Vegas and I'm looking for the Elvis one.

Bilingual Baby

We want to teach our peanut different languages primarily motivated by our family history. My great grandparents( Popz and Nana) were from Germany and my grandma was sad that they never taught her their native tongue. It was during the War so my Popz and Nana never wanted to teach grandma German have her ostracized in American society. Mr. Incredible's family is American Canadian.
Even though my husband speaks Korean and I speak Hebrew. Spanish is the first choice for Peanut's second language because of how many people speak it in the states and the opportunities to learn it. Our plan is to teach him how to speak and read it along with English. There are alot of great resources in the Denver area. The third and fourth languages are TBA. More to come on the resources later!
