Weekend In Colorado
We had a very nice weekend. Here it is in a nutshell. Im sorry, it would be more fun to read if I were Bethany, or Laura, or Amy, or Katie or Andrea...or any of you genious writers... (yes Karey, that includes you too.)
Friday night was date night. Adriel was my date. We went to this place called the westminster prominade. Its this place where you can walk around and there's shops and a lot of resaurants. We went to Tuk tuk to eat. It was Thai food, and I may very well be able to say that it was the best thai food I've had, and I've had some good food! I got the thai green curry and there were many yummy things in it, such as bamboo shoots, prawns, zuccini. Im a sucker for the curries. Especially if there's coconut milk in it. We walked around afterwards. There were tons of teens. Its a huge teen hang out place. After that we decided to go shopping at a thrift store. That's what it was called: Thrift Store. I found some denim capris and I bought them. Slavica found a shirt and bought some things for the girls (which they later turned down and that reminded me of when mom would bring the twins and I clothes from the recycling place-remember that fubs?) John put on a geeky fleece sweater vest and an ugly had and wore it around the store to bug Slavica. Then there was the choice of renting a movie. I insisted that they get Secondhand Lions (arent you proud Fub-a-luffs?) which Slavica seemed skeptical about but couldnt help but fall in love with it, of course. What's not to love? "That was such a great movie!!!" She said rather enthusiastically afterwards...My baby is awake, I'll have to finish later.
Ok on Saturday we went to the Pearl Street mall. It's an outdoor mall that John mentioned before in his blog. It was really neat. There just so happened to be a festival going on there that day (no one knew before we got there) so it was really busy with tons of stuff going on and lots of little booths and tents selling neat stuff. We just took our time wandering around. Getting around with a stroller wasnt exactly easy though. Then we came home and John made bbq steaks. They were so good and it totally hit the spot. Slavica and I watched Dirty Dancing havanna nights. It was fun. I like dancing movies and of course Slavica loves anything to do with dancing. The guy in it was pretty cute, but I think part of the cuteness factor had to do with the fact that he could dance. A guy that can dance ups his cute factor a notch or two in my books.
On Sunday I woke up to a waffle breakfast made by John. Yum. Lots of different toppings. One interesting one was cottage cheese. Who ever thought of putting cottage cheese on a waffle. Christian would have cottage cheese with maple syrup. I didnt try it. I should have because you should try interesting things at least once- you never know what you might discover. We sat around and listened to conference which was good. We only did the morning session though, so I'll have to catch up when I get home. Then we got all ready and went out to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It's this natural theatre made from red rocks by the mountains. It was neato. There were a TON of stairs to get up to it, and I was carrying Adriel in the snugli. My legs are still sore today. We had a picnic up there. Slavica made her famous provlone sandwiches. We also made a brief stop at dinosaur ridge where there were dinosaur footprints on these mountain rock things. It was neat. We had a nice time together. It was fun doing stuff with the whole family.
On Monday Slavica and I did more shopping. What can I say? There are endless places to shop around here! We went to DSW (a shoe store which we are guessing stands for the Dumb Shoe Wearhouse?) and I got two new pairs of shoes! They were cute and on sale for 30 and 40 percent off, what could I do? I deserve a treat now and then dont I? I still need to find a skirt... We also went to a few other stores in the area, such as Babies R Us. Oh my goodness, it was huge and it had everything you'd ever want for a baby! I could easily spend and spend in there. But I didnt....It was fun to look and dream though. I have mixed feelings- sad that there isnt one near me, and relieved that I dont have the temptation. I also feel that way about coldstone creamery. So that's it. Im caught up for now.
