Sophia getting "fresh" before the guests arrive. This little girl loves the water! (notice the little pot belly??!?!?)
We visited a couple local tours...Celestial Seasonings and Coors. (Sophia couldn't go into the tea tour so I we stayed out and I didn't get any pictures. :(
Big kettles! (in background)
Ed and Boni graciously let us borrow their van for a ride up to Conifer to plat disc golf. (Boni also kept Sophia for us...it was the first time this momma left her baby for more than a couple hours! (I did ok...if you were wondering! And apparently, Sophie did too! Thanks Boni!))
The course was a bit snowy...but it is such a beautiful hike!
Dani and Mel
Beautiful views as well...
Luke found this "No Tresspassing" sign...ladies and gents, his wife is off limits!
My studly disc golf winner!
Free ice skating downtown! (skate rentals $2)
Love is in the air!
More love...
And more love!
How I loved being with you again!
The group...minus Sophia who was sleeping contentedly in her stroller snug as a bug in a rug (the whole time!)
Ticket to Ride! I think Mel won the most!
Bowling! Jake and Sophia...
Luke and Dani... :)
Sophia and Mel....no, Sophie wasn't spoiled at all while they were here ;)
So...Sunday. Dan's in a meeting and I have song practice. We send our dear guests home in the Jeep and I keep the car (Dan to get a ride). After practice I am getting ready to leave (Dan still in meeting) and I look out the church window at our car. My first thought, "Is that our car?" My second thought, "Our car has hub caps! (Rims!)" "Wait, why does our car have rims?!?!? Our car has never had rims in the three years of our marriage!" I make a comment to someone still at church. They don't know why we suddenly have rims either! Weeeeiiirrrrddddd. But I have to get home so I must drive said car. "Hmmm....what if I turn on the key and this thing explodes?!? Oh well, let's give it a try!"
Sophia and I arrive home (safe and sound) and exclaim to our guests that our car has hub caps now!?!?! I then noticed some sly exchanges between the two parties..."WHY DOES OUR CAR HAVE RIMS?!?! WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?!?!" I finally got it out of them. From the first time the guys saw the car (minus rims) they got it into their heads to get us some. When we sent them all home in our Jeep it provided the perfect chance for them to get them!
The guys ended up picking up Dan from church....and his first thought was also, "Is that my car?!?!" We we both surprised! Thanks Luke and Jake for the surprise! Haha!
oh wow....you guys look like you had a blast!! Isn't it wonderful when your little miss sophia is a perfect angel and sleeps while you get to have fun skating!! Luke and Jake are great friends to buy you hub caps:). Was waiting for this post:).
ReplyDeleteoh and TTR......now I am extremely jealous. Guess I know who to have over for TTR in the future. So do you have a 6 player game??? Or did one of you always sit out?
ReplyDeleteOne of us always sat out...but isn't there an expansion pack or something??
