Beach Trip

-




We went to the beach this past weekend. We had a lot of fun. Port Aransas is so near and dear to my heart and it makes me happy to go there every time. This trip was especially fun because we went with several good friends. Rob and Cheris were there with Violet and Graham. They stayed in a condo with Nancy and Chris and Evie. Katie and Soren stayed with us in our condo. We tested fate by taking this trip with four two year olds and two infants. People looked at us a little funny when we walked into a restaurant and announced that we were seven adults and six highchairs please.
We spent time at the beach and the pool and we each took turns making yummy dinners for the whole group. We went to town and souvenier shopped and Evie got to take a trip the ER for a finger injury. On the last day it was a bit rainy so we headed to the aquarium. It was so much fun to watch the toddlers watch the fish and dolphins.
It's hard work to travel with children, but it was a lot of fun too. I hope we can do something like this regularly. This is a great group of people and really good friends.

How fun! I love Port A, too. I never thought I'd like a beach (I'm more of a "mountain girl") but I love Port A. And travelling with friends like that is AWESOME.

Where did you guys stay?

And I love taking the kids to the aquarium. Their pictures with the dolphins are always my favorite.

Winter Park Weekends

  For two weekends in a row, we have rented our favorite condo from our friends and spent the weekends in Winter Park. It is SO fun! Davis has a trestle downhill pass and we meet our friends the Rileys and the Perrys (our mountain bike family) and the kids ride all day, I hike around in the mountains and we have communal dinner either at the rigs or at the condo. The first weekend we met everyone up there after the Heritage back to school dance which turned out to be a germ factory. I drove up Aidan and Sam after school on Friday. We unpacked and then had a lovely dinner at Lime before coming back to the condo where the boys watched John Wick and I took a long bath. Michael, Davis and Garrett came up late after the dance and we all fell asleep. That Saturday was lovely, but quite cold. Sam and G tried downhilling with the others and really enjoyed it. Michael and I got an activity pass and did the alpine slide a lot of times. We read in our adirondack chairs by the lift and ate lunch a

 In between Winter Park weekends, Michael celebrated his 50th birthday and Rosie celebrated her 1st. Michael chose to have a quiet birthday after the big polo celebration and stay in. I decorated a little, we ordered in Thai food, watched the new marvel show, What if?, and had delicious ice cream from Heaven. Rosie had a cookie and lots of pets.

Polo Weekend for Michael's Birthday

Friday Photos: Saturday Photos: Sunday Photos:  This year we got two tables at DA2030's charity polo weekend. We invited all our favorite people to help Michael celebrate his 50th birthday. Mom and Paul and Tiffany and Keith and Cheris and Rob and Steven and his girlfriend Amber all flew in just for the weekend!  Our local friends joined in too and we had a party! Mom and Paul got us a limo as Michael's birthday present for Friday's fancy night at Wings over the Rockies.  Cheris and I got our hair and nails done. Christin and Suzy went to get their makeup done. I had four dress options for Friday night and due to a lot of factors, ended up wearing a completely different one at the last minute. I was stressed as it really wasn't dressy enough, but I looked okay in it and it was comfortable so that was all good. The weather was warm, but not too smoky from all the fires so that was okay. Michael has quit drinking and was worried about how much fun polo would be without bo
