Week 16 - Denver!

Sorry we're a little late this week getting our post up!  We've been busy busy.  This past weekend we got to go home to Denver to visit my mom, dad and sister and to celebrate my good friend Emily's upcoming wedding!  Gray and I flew to Denver on Thursday afternoon and arrived to chilly rocky mountain air!  We went out to dinner at one of our favorite little places in Littleton, Wild Ginger, and had some great Thai food.  On Friday my mom and dad both had to work so Gray and I were on our own.  We were planning on going on a hike but we woke up on Friday morning to freezing cold rain which quickly turned to snow!  We had gone over to the mall to look at some stores and came out to find our car covered with a few inches of snow.  What better way to spend the snowing afternoon than at the movies :)  Gray and I went and saw Date Night.  It was a cute movie and a good way to pass the afternoon!  It's funny to be in a movie theatre in the middle of the day on a week day.  That night we grilled out (in the snow) and Elizabeth arrived!

On Saturday we got ready for Emily's shower.  My mom and Elizabeth and I hosted a kitchen themed shower for Emily and invited some great neighborhood friends.  You won't believe the crazy Colorado weather but we actually ended up having the majority of the shower outside on the back deck because it turned into a beautiful day!  During the shower the boys all spent the afternoon at the bowling alley and enjoying lunch at a sports bar (their plans of fly fishing were cancelled because the mountains were still getting snow!).  Here are some fun pictures of our weekend.

After the shower, the boys all came back and joined us for a fun late afternoon on the back porch.

We were sad to leave on Sunday but had a great visit to Denver and can't wait to go back!!
