denver visit


we got back last week from a visit to denver. we had a wonderful time with family and friends. i celebrated my birthday there and todd's mom judy was kind enough to invite the whole family out for dinner. a very fun gathering to celebrate with everyone.


we had several 'playdates' at parks in the morning. we would just let folks know where we would be and then have an oppotunity to chat for an hour or two while the kids played. riley and lucy both love 'dinosaur park' and here is a picture of them seated on high.



unfortunately we didn't take a ton of pictures but here are a couple documenting sword play in grandma judy's front yard.


todd's dad jim and step mom lynn gifted us with a ski day at vail. what an amazing day!! having two little kids i don't get many adult only ski days and certainly this day was epic in so many ways. several inches of fluffy new snow, bright blue skies, wide open terrain in the back bowls and fantantic ski buddies.....i'm still smiling. lynn took a picture but i don't have a copy of it...i'll post it if i get it.

overall a wonderful visit. now we are back into the swing of life in the hood.
