Girls Just wanna have fun

Lots of hiking for us.
Monthly dinner club that I rarely take photos at.  Of course this month was small.

One of my friends suggested that we go to drag queen brunch at Champagne Tiger.  Definitely a fun afternoon with exactly the laughter and smiling needed in the world right now.

 

HOCO

I was able to witness this cuteness.  Adorable.

Ads Family Birthday


We were able to have everyone, minus Baba, over for Ads actual birthday.  Cousin Nicholas and his girlfriend were both in town.  Grandpa came, but left before I took any photos unfortunately.

Zoo day!





 

Randoms from late August

Meow Wolf.
Open water swim for these three.
Good buddies with the same haircut on the night before one left for college.

These two walk to weightlifting class together and walked home the other night in the pouring rain (hard to tell how hard it was raining from the photo but they were drenched.)
2nd hike of the school year.

Apple Watch for Papa

Papa got an apple watch for his birthday, but maybe the most important part was the assistant who came to help set it up!

Broadmoor and the Manitou Incline

With the help of our older two kids and my parents for one night, Bri and I were able to get to the Broadmoor to celebrate our 20th anniversary!  I have always wanted to do the Manitou Incline and so we did it!  And then instead of going home to kids, we laid by the incredible pool at the Broadmoor and ate yummy food and just hung out with each other.  It was so nice and turns out that despite the crazy fun life at home, we still love hanging out together alone too.  And the hike was HARD!

A Family Hike-minus 1

While we haven't been able to escape for a long far off vacation this summer, we have managed to squeeze in what we can.  Unfortunately LT had to work, but the 4 of us went to the mountains for 2 days and went on a favorite hike up to an abandoned mine. 





Our home up there doesn't get the love it needs unfortunately, so we had to drain the hot tub, clean it and then refill it.  Lucky for these two, they have always wanted to do a cold plunge, I can't believe they are smiling in the 58 degree water.
