The Peavy Family Blog: Mom Date

About a month ago, I sent a calendar invite to D-man for August 12th. While I have seen him during the Fridays we have been on vacation, I have not been able to spend time with him on my Summer Fridays while in Louisville.

In the morning, we took care of some last minute Miami housekeeping details. We then headed to brunch/lunch at Bob’s Diner in downtown Louisville with T-man. We sat outside and just enjoyed being together. We stopped at Punch Buggy for shaved ice as neither boy had yet had it.

We dropped T-man off and went into Boulder to get D-man his suit (graduation gift). He wasn’t initially thrilled about shopping, but the suit looked good and he was excited to get it. We also stopped into Nordstrom Rack for shoes and were able to not only get shoes, but got some t-shirts and pants as well - jackpot!

I had really been hoping to do something “fun” (paddle boarding, hiking, concert at Red Rocks, etc.),, but we ended up being much more utilitarian. I was just happy to spend a day with our son.

Even though we didn’t get to a concert at Red Rocks (D-man even tried to win tickets on the radio), we did end up booking last minute tickets to the Rockies game. Our seats were in the shade, it was an exciting game and the Rockies won! We took the bus to the game and it was great to be downtown with the family. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my Friday evening than as a family.
