Brandi Carlile, Tennis, Bike Ride, Colorado Life

-

Our drive home from Espanola was terrible. We hit awful traffic and it took forever. I almost missed my Brandi Carlile concert! Luckily, Suzy met us close to Red Rocks and I hopped from our car to hers and Michael took the boys home while we made to Red Rocks in plenty of time to tailgate before the show. It was so fun and Brandi was amazing.
The next morning Davis went back to school at STEM and we began to start our fall routine. Samuel didn't start school yet, but we kept busy. He built legos and I worked out and cooked. Michael and I are doing a 21 day "lean and tone" program that involves a specific meal plan. Michael was home again and it was very nice. The kids still played long afternoons outside with their friends. I cut my thumb pretty seriously on some glass after a guacamole/cookie jar incident and had to go to urgent care for steri strips and glue.
Last weekend we had Catan night with neighbors on Friday, two tennis matches on Saturday and then on Saturday night we finally watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the kids which they absolutely loved. So much laughter!
Sunday morning we all went for a super long bike ride which was utterly beautiful. We live in such a glorious state. Colorado is a spectacularly beautiful place to live- especially in the summer.

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.

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
