This year marked the first time since 2014 that we hosted family in Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was a great time! And things are so much easier when you have a sister living 7 minutes away! It was so nice to share the Thanksgiving prep work, and the house guests! Day one we had soup…
Halloween weekend began as it always does, at the Longmont Parade. It was a beautiful morning and all the costumes were so clever. Then the moment we’ve been waiting for…..presenting the cast of HERCULES! Every year just keeps getting better. I wish Halloween was always on a weekend! It was on Monday this year, and…
We had a few great weekends celebrating the Tigers and the Rams. First up, EHS. It all starts with the Homecoming Parade. This was the second year that Tiger Tennis participated. Hitting candy to the crowd is a highlight of the season. And there were SO MANY people this year! Next up was the Homecoming…
I am seriously a happier person in the fall. It’s so fantastic to not be hot. And to be surrounded by all the beautiful colors. It’s just so wonderful. All of it. Can it be fall forever? We went on the most beautiful hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lake Haiyaha had a mud slide…
Queen Elizabeth dies. What a life she led! It wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but think of all the history she lived through. It’s pretty amazing. Tennis, tennis and more tennis. It’s been a tough season. Josh isn’t having nearly as much fun as he did last year. We moved up to 5A, and we…
This was kind of a hectic trip. And NYC felt more gritty than it usually does. I didn’t really notice that in April, but maybe that’s because the weather was bad? We were also all pretty tired. It was hard to muster the energy the city requires. We didn’t really have many plans going in.…
Oh Wow. This was a BIG month. The one where Halle goes to college. I feel like we lived a lifetime in just 30 days. We celebrated our 20th anniversary with a night at the Art Hotel in Denver. We didn’t get away until late, so we had a 9pm dinner at Rioja. The next…
Oh my goodness–I am not going to do this trip justice because I’m in a hurry to get this done. Kasey, if you read this, send me your journal entry :). Here’s what I’ll say–We ate the BEST food. Seriously…I think it tops NYC. We didn’t really make any plans, and EVERY SINGLE thing we…
The weather has been terrible the last few days. Our plan was to hike the volcano on Sunday evening. But they closed access because the weather was too bad. They said they’d make a decision about Monday in the morning. After the volcano tour was cancelled last night we decided to get up at 6am…
