A Picture Update: Summer Week 8
Uffda! What a week. For this update I’ll take you back to Sunday…in both Door County and Denver.
On Sunday the girls and the grandmas went to Peninsula State Park. They enjoyed the lake!
Meanwhile, Jenna and Bethany arrived in Denver and we went to grab lunch at Edgewater Public Market before doing some grocery shopping and heading to our Airbnb.
That afternoon I FaceTimed with the girls, which is always an adventure!
Maya sent me some lovely sunset photos from their evening.
And Bethany, Jenna and I made a delicious charcuterie board, drank wine, watched the Olympics and then sat out on the deck.
On Monday the girls, G-ma and Boom went mini-golfing!
In Colorado, Bethany, Jenna and I drove up to Eldorado Canyon State Park and did the Rattlesnake Gulch hike.
It was BEAUTIFUL!
We hiked up to see the Continental Divide.
It was a lot of intense uphill hiking and we went about 5.5 miles in 2 hours.
The we drove up to the visitor center and cooled off our feet in the very cold creek.
After burning all those calories we headed to Golden for lunch at Barrels and Bottles Brewery! (I opted for a wine slushee…)
The rest of the day we just relaxed at the house and watched more Olympics! Later on we went in the hot tub.
Meanwhile, the girls, G-ma and Boom ate out at a nice restaurant, got ice cream, and walked along the shore. They even saw a rainbow!
On Tuesday the girls got home from their trip (and reunited with Chris and Luna). When I FaceTimed Maya once she was home, I ended up talking to Luna.
Prior to that, I went on a run and did yoga on the deck at sunrise. Then Jenna, Bethany and I spent the late morning and afternoon in Boulder. We had brunch at a place called Snooze, where we sat at the counter and watched the women’s gymnastics.
We finished eating before the gymnastics was over, so we found a shady spot in front of the courthouse and watched the rest on Jenna’s phone. Then we walked around Pearl Street and shopped and got ice cream.
Then it was finally time for our CONCERT! We got ready to see Olivia Rodrigo and then headed to meet Mari for dinner near the arena. There were ladies sitting at the table next to us (also going to the concert) who shared face crystals with us…ha!
The concert was awesome! We had a blast.
On Wednesday it was time to head home. We relaxed at the Airbnb for the morning and then headed to Mari’s after checkout. Bethany left early but Jenna and I went lunch (Mexican, of course!) and on a walk with Mari and Rocky before heading to the airport.
It was such a fun trip, and I’m so grateful to have had family time with Mari, Josh and Avery and my friends!
More adventures are ahead so I’ll update when I can!

Timehop Tuesday
Happy Tuesday! I have gotten multiple emails from Lifetouch Photography the past couple of weeks trying to get me to buy more photos of the girls from over the years. But the benefit of all the annoying emails is they send these thumbnails!
Talk about Timehops!

And then we have Maya in July 2015 and Avery in July 2024 in these cute pink shorts!

Weekend Wrap-Up: The Door County & Denver Edition!
Hey all! Happy Sunday! Lots to report on from the weekend.
The girls, G-ma and Boom continued their fun in Door County! On Friday they took a ferry to Washington Island.
Meanwhile Luna got to hang out with Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell, Isla and Shambles.
And I made it to Denver and got to help pick Avery up from daycare! Then we hung out at their house and had fun in the backyard.
And then Mari and I went out to dinner at Adelita’s, a yummy Mexican restaurant. And did you peep Mari’s belly from the photo above?? Her drink at dinner contained NO spirits…because she’s having a baby in December. Woohoo!!!
On Saturday the Door County crew took it easy in the morning and then went on a boat ride.
Later they dressed up for dinner and an outdoor show!
Meanwhile in Denver, I went on a pretty walk and then played with Avery in the morning.
Then we headed to the pool!
After nap time (for all of us) we had a snack and walked to the park.
Then we played outside, had dinner and watched the Olympics!
Today we watched more Olympics and watched Avery play until Jenna and Bethany picked me up for part 2 of my Denver adventure.
Meanwhile the girls, Boom and G-ma headed out to brunch!
That’s all for now…I’ll be back at some point later this week to wrap up the vacations!
Chris was in Wisconsin fly fishing on a beautiful river.

A Picture Update: Summer Week 7
What a big week!
We met G-ma for lunch at Chipotle, and Auntie Cat and Boom stopped by.
Later Pa and Max came over for dinner and games.
It was a great day!
On Wednesday morning, Chris dropped the girls off early with G-ma and Boom and they all headed to Door County in WI! I have gotten lots of pictures from their adventures, so I'll share them here. It looks like they have been having a great time. :)
Meanwhile, I hung out with Luna, went to the pool, and Chris and I ordered Indian takeout.
The photos from Thursday in Door County didn't disappoint! They headed to Bailey’s Harbor to see a lighthouse and the beach!
Later they enjoyed time back at the resort.
I went to a happy hour with coworkers and hung out with Luna.
Today I’m off to Denver to spend the weekend with Mari, Josh and Avery, and then meeting up with my friends Jenna and Bethany for our yearly concert trip! I’m not sure what my blog schedule will be as I’ll be out of my regular routine, but I’ll do my best to post when I can.
On Monday Maya had fun on the slip 'n' slide again, we went to Max's birthday dinner, and got ready for our birthday girl's big day.
Tuesday was the big day! She woke up (EARLY) and opened presents.
