OK, I guess I've got some explaining with that title, I'll explain later...

This morning(or yesterday morning, for those of you looking at time stamps), promptly at 7:30am Xcel Energy brought down their old power plant.  I had intended to head up to the bluffs and watch from there, but I am just recovering from being sick since Wednesday night.  Being active at 7:30am didn't sound appealing to me when the alarm went off.

Well about 15 minutes before the demo started, I had a change of heart.  I've got some great pictures here in a slide show for you, I hope you enjoy!

If you haven't figured out the title.  It's the name of a children's book and it's one of the first things my almost 4 year old daughter and I thought about when we talked about the boom we heard.  My daughter was talking about the smoke stack ALL day.  Where did it go? - Why? - What's that thing called again? - Maybe Jesus took it away?

Young children sure have an interesting take on things.
