P-Town

A very successful trip to Pender this year to visit some of the Karlen family. The weather was very mild and we got in a lot of golf and disc golf. We did a lot of the same things - parade, sandwiches uptown, pancake breakfast - but also some new things - cruising Main Street and checking out new disc golf courses. And then we didn't do some things at all - drive across Nebraska, set off fireworks or swim in the pool. But, things change as the years go on. I'm just thankful the boys and I were able to make it and have such a good time.

Beautiful Boulder

A perfect summer day in Boulder. Spa treatment with my bestie followed by enjoying all of the spa amenities (cashing in out Mother's Day present). A happy hour cocktail at the Bitter Bar and yummy farm to table food at the Kitchen. 

We then strolled down Pearl Street and happened upon other Louisville friends at Tiaco for a night cap (free thanks to Alana's cousin). It was such a wonderful day in a truly beautiful city.

Music in the Park

Beautiful Thursday evening to be outside with friends listening to the music - was an interesting band but so glad to be out on a summer night and one of the longest days of the year.

Work and Play

A coworking day in Denver followed by a day off for Juneteenth. Lucky on all fronts.

Dad's Day

No hiking this Father's Day given Tanner's ankle so we switched it up this year. We had Locos Hermanos burritos (Marshall's favorite) and took them to Community Park. We played bocce ball and KamJam and there was a slight breeze which kept it comfortable. We treated ourselves to Sweet Cow (and booked our Casa Bonita reservation while there). Most importantly, we celebrate the wonderful Dad that Marshall is. I see so many of his traits in the boys and he is such a positive influence in their lives (and so many others as well). We all went our separate ways throughout the day, but hooked back up in the evening for gifts and chatting in the basement. Thankful for these moments we all have together - and no better day than to show Marshall how much he means to all of us.

BOCO Summer

Summer is in full swing in Boulder county. Last week, Marshall played golf and trivia, I had a ladies night at the pool and we golfed a new course in Broomfield. We grilled out with Tanner on Friday night and they were kind enough to accompany me to Sweet Cow to get butterfinger ice cream. 

On Saturday, three of us went to the farmers makes for breakfast and got some cherries (Tanner's friend was also playing guitar and singing - he's really good!). 

Saturday night saw us axe throwing for a friend's 50th birthday followed by food and drinks at Avanti in  Boulder. It was a gorgeous night with amazing views of the flatirons. Love where you live - we are certainly living that.
