Lifetime Members

The Peavy family is working hard to take advantage of our lifetime membership at Twin Creeks (a gift from my parents years ago). 

The boys and I have gone out the last two mornings before I started work. Yesterday, it was very quiet, but there were a few more folks out this morning. It has been great to get out and get in 9 holes before the day starts and spend time with the boys.

Eight vs. Ten

The boys and I made our annual trip to Pender on Monday after work. The boys shared driving duties and did a great job. The drive is much easier when you aren’t driving it seems. Tanner took the first leg and Drake took the rest. We stopped at the rest stop with the wagon trail ruts and talked about coming across the country in a wagon - life was certainly much harder for our ancestors. 

We took the interstate route this time as our Runza stop didn’t work out if we went up through central Nebraska. It turns out there is a new Runza in Central City which was great for our stop. 

The drive took around 8 hours and 15 minutes and that was with a painfully long stop for gas. Drake and I were talking about how much faster it is now that they are older and I’m not the only driver. The stops are faster when you don’t have to run around to get energy out or help two additional people go to the bathroom. 

It was funny when a Facebook memory popped up chronically a trip a few years back. That trip took almost 10 hours. While much has stayed the same with our trips to Pender, the length of the drive has not (thankfully).

The power of a team and belonging is strong and so happy for Tanner 

Summer Solstice Tournament

We spent the weekend on the fields up in north Boulder watching our son doing what he loves. Fortunately, we had good weather and the team came away 3-3 - two of those victories wrapping up the tournament today. 

We got to know some of the parents a bit better and I was happy to have others that yelled more than I did! 

The team seemed to gel on Sunday and it was fun to watch them work as a team. Go Cutthroat! 🐟

Day 2 - brisk morning which was nice

Tanner’s on that line! - quite the view from these fields 

Summertime

The boys finally got to leverage their Elitch Amusement Park this week. They said the crowds were not had and they enjoyed both the rides and the water park. So glad they had a day together. 

Marshall and I took a beverage to the pool for happy hour as we were so happy to have a sunny day. 

Definitely feeling like summer!

Juneteenth

I had today off from work due to the Juneteenth holiday. I started the day at breakfast with two former Return Path employees. I returned to two inflated  paddle boards thanks to Drake. I bought these specifically because I thought they would fit in the van…..Well….They fit, but not easily and with no view out of the back. But, we all fit and got on the road around 11:20. 

We made a stop at Culver’s for lunch and finally arrived at Horsetooth Reservoir in Ft. Collins around 12:45. By the time we found parking (harder than I imagined), it was around 1:00. We did luck out and get a spot right in front of a spot we could put in. 

We blew up the extra paddle board (borrowed from the Wrights), paid our parking fee and took off into the wind. Once we were away from the swimming beach, we didn’t have to deal with any crowds. We made some pit stops along the way and once we reached a specific point, we hooked up and floated back to the start. We enjoyed talking about what we were going to do to keep us busy this summer. It was a great inaugural outing with our paddle boards on the first day of the season that finally felt like summer! We headed back around 4:00 so Tanner could make it back for a friend’s surprise birthday party. 

I’m so glad we could have a day together on my day off and do something new together. 

Ready to go!

Biking to Music

Superior started music in the park this year on Saturday nights. The 5280’s band played the inaugural concert and I talked Marshall into riding bikes over to the event. We also got some folks to join us (they drove). 

We dropped dinner off for Drake at the golf course and then continued on to the new park for the music. Besides the chair getting stuck in my wheel, it was an easy ride. 

We had a gorgeous night and enjoyed some fun music and snacks and drinks. We then headed to the Wrights to play Secret Hitler and shared many laughs. 

Fun Julia strikes again!

Our transportation - so fun! 

Dad’s Day

We tried to do a good job taking care of the special dad in the house. We enjoyed sleeping in and burrita in the back deck before venturing out for a hike. 

We had to be selective with our hike given all the rain and we picked a good one (after we figured out where to park).  It was finally a sunny day with some nice cloud cover and just so good to be out as a family of four. A family stop at Costco with ailments impulse buys wrapped up our outing. 

Marshall made a burger for Tanner before he headed out to Ultimate practice. Drake and Marshall watched some F1 before we had a nice BBQ outside (our first dinner on the deck this season). 

As the boys turn into young men, the impact Marshall has had on their lives is even more apparent. Marshall serves as such a great role model for them - how he engages with and treats others, how he helps around the home, how he engages with me and so much more. 

And I would be remiss to not mention my own father and how fortunate I am to still be able to call and talk with him on Father’s Day. We chatted while he was on the back porch so I could picture him looking over their beautiful yard.

Way to go son. So proud of Drake’s first year and embracing all that college can be. 

Summer Funday

I ventured to Denver to have breakfast with two old colleagues on Thursday morning. We enjoyed locos hermanos burritos on Tati’s back deck. I then drove over the WeWork and enjoyed seeing all the Nuggets parade attendees milling around. 

I then ventured over to Rhino for a happy hour networking event with my former coworker from Snapdocs (and Return Path and ROIDirect). 

We wrapped up the day with music in the park after a thunderstorm. Here’s to summer (kind of).
