Up, Up and Away

Let me start off by saying, it was a bit terrifying for me to watch Emma fly around on bungee cords like she was headed straight for the moon. It was one of those Mommy Moments when you are happy that your child is brave and excited to try something new but scared to death because that is your life hanging off of rubber. It reminded me of one time, when I was pregnant with Emma, and we were in the mountains with Brian's business partner. They have three children that were loading up in the car of another friend and the Mom said "Be careful, that's my life in the car". I didn't get it so much then, but I sure do now.

Picture is brought to you from our weekend trip to Dillon earlier this month. The girls wanted a getaway of their own after we returned from our cruise, so we took them to the mountains for the weekend. Mommy ran the Georgetown to Idaho Springs 1/2, we had a great lunch in Idaho Springs, got to see my mom who stayed with us one night and spent time hanging out at Lake Dillon. There was a BBQ fest going on that weekend and the girls enjoyed the kid's zone.

Life has brought us to the end of another summer. Quite honestly, I don't know where the years go anymore. With the regular school routine starting back, it will be Halloween before we know it, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and the New Year. I'm having a hard time with the season change this year, maybe it's because Emma will be going off to big girl school next year or that our summer days are winding to an end.

Some fun things we have going on this Labor Day weekend: date night tonight for Brian and I, we are hitting Carlos Bistro for some yummy grub. The girls get to find something fun to do on Sunday while Brian gets in a morning round of golf and heads up to Denver to watch the Donkeys Broncos play football. Not sure if we'll head down to check out the hot air balloons, go check out The North Pole or take a picnic to the park. And Monday will be fun in the sun, assuming the weather holds. Our pool closes on Monday so they are having one last shindig for everyone, with a cookout, stagecoach rides, games and more.
Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
*Note: I stand corrected, Brian is going to the CU/CSU game on Sunday night, not the Broncs, they played last night. Guess I need to brush up on those listening skills!
