denver.

I can't believe we've been home for a week and half and I still haven't blogged about our trip to denver! well... here it is:

(incredible picture of red rocks (we didn't take it..) it was a beautiful night for a movie under the stars :)
elitches. i love that its right downtown, the city lights were beautiful from the ferris wheel.

LT pool.
fancy tiger. one of the awesome shops on broadway. the owner was awesome and chatted with us for a long time. his wife owns fancy tiger crafts right across the street. both stores are amazing.

We had an awesome trip, our favorite ever. we stayed with my parents for a full two weeks and i really could have stayed indefinitely (except in our own house, of course) but we're back in the Ho. The first weekend, 5 out of my 6 siblings were in town. mark and julie live within 20 min of my parents and matt lives about 2 hours away in the mountains. kjell came in from fresno. (christian and errin couldn't make it and we REALLLLyyy missed them<3)>(because that's why they had kids in the first place... grandkids) We...

had a bbq with ribs and corn on the cob, so messy and summery. got together with sarah (college roommate and long time friend) and her husband austin and baby emmry for haircutting, hair dying, thai food eating and baker neighborhood walking. elitches (amusement park.. and not the tautphaus park kind of amusement park, a real one) with ali and blake, chipotle first and we finished with a perfect ferris wheel overlooking downtown denver. skateboarding with blake, garrett and bill (nic, not me) denver diner at midnight. film on the rocks (watching ghost busters at redrocks with 8,000 others) pasquinos for delicious pizza with blake and ali.lunch with sarah (sisinlaw) @ panera. yummm. my parents took all of us out to a nice dinner together without the 2 year old+ grandkids to hacendia colorado. d-bar with my parents, super yummy dessert (it seems like all we did in CO was eat...) savers thrift store hunting. more chipotle. shopping on broadway in our beloved baker. we can't WAIT to move there! First Friday with the Wiley's which turned into dinner and then a late night chat at a coffee shop. Paris on the Platt with the crew. dinner @ emily and tonys with elizabeth, matt and carly. so yummy and fun, thanks em. lunch with my HS girl friends @ panera- Melissa, Leslie and Jenny- love you!! 5 crowns with my parents. binghams dominated. visiting my sister. seeing melissa cannon and baby henry for the first time! a little bit of work, of course. Fridays for lunch with Em and Tone. Sunday dinner with Julie's family and Mark's family. Swimming at the new lone tree pool with kjell and julie's families. sunday breakfast for blake, ali, garrett, and bill made by my mom and dad. park meadows with sarah (sisinlaw) and again with em, tony and jenny. gotta love the meadows. steak dinner with mom and dad. swimming with lydia, mia, julie and tommy at mark and lydia's pool. light rail from lone tree to denver with my nic.
