Summer is Fun!

-

Wow, I'm behind at blogging. The first weekend in June was lovely. The kids played in the greenspace and we did lawn games with the Danielsons on Saturday evening. The next morning we got up early and went on a hike to Lair o' the Bear. It was a great hike, but we had to cut it short to drive back to Denver and get the kids to a birthday party before picking up Kara and Ben and heading for downtown.
We checked into the Hyatt Grand, checked out our suite and then walked over to the People's Fair where we enjoyed the Tito's garden and browsed the shops and ate festival food.
Then we took a lyft over to begin our immersive theater experience called Remote Denver. It was really thought provoking and we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
After the show we walked through the Chalk art festival and over to Jax Restaurant for a lovely rose wine and oysters.
We eventually made our way back to the hotel (my fitbit reported 25,000 steps!) and played Catan and drank wine and visited some more.
The next morning we had to leave early to get the kids to camp and get Michael to the airport. But it was so fun! I am in love with Denver again. June is so beautiful here.

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
