Friday Photo Fix 8/3

Road trip to Nebraska!

Every four years...

Thank God that the summer Olympics only come around every four years.  I love cheering for the underdog and crying my eyes out for every athlete that sacrifices everything for their sport. I was absolutely exhausted today at work because I just had to stay up and watch every second of women's gymnastics.
We spent this past weekend watching the Olympics like it was our job and we do our jobs well, very well indeed.

Our weekend went a little something like this.

Did I mention that we spent a lot of time watching the Olympics?  Hope your weekend was as relaxing as ours.

Golf Carts, a concert, and an alpine slide

I really don't even know where to begin to tell you about the Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney concert.  We all had so.much.fun!

We dropped the kids off at Ms. Barb's around 3 in the afternoon and then decided that it was best to tailgate indoors at Cook's apartment because of the heat.  It turned out to be the best decision ever.  We all had a blast, chatted up a storm, and snuck in a group photo before the concert began.


I had no idea how we were all going to get to the concert because traffic downtown was insane and no one wants to walk forever when it's in the triple digits.
I should have known that Cook would have been four steps ahead with a brilliant plan.
Enter "Colorado Cruisers" a golf cart company downtown that takes you to events.  WAY more fun than a cab!

 

Here is the view from the cheap seats. 

Bad seats but great company!

Max and I couldn't get a picture together with both of our eyes open.  Brad and Ashley crush us on enthusiasm and being more fun. 

 

Tim and Kenny had a long play list and we all sang and danced the night away. Literally...too much fun!

We had also promised Adrian that if he was good at Ms. Barb's that he would get to go down the "super duper huge mountain slide".  All of the kids did great at the babysitter and made us deliver on our promise.
Adrian was so patient and good with Chance all weekend.  They loved riding on the little rides in the lobby of the ticket office for the alpine slide.  

Clearly the ponies were a much better ride than the train.

Chance's first open ski lift.

Grabbing our sleds and getting ready to go for it.  

 

 

I think we will be visiting this slide more times than we will be willing to admit.  Chance has no choice, Max and I loved it :)


What a great weekend! Thanks so much to Brad and Ashley for making it amazing.  We miss Kennedy and Adrian already.
