family dinner

On Friday we headed into the city to have dinner at my sister Robyn and her boyfriend Danny's house.

We LOVED Danny's pulled pork!!

Sophie loved the chocolate ice cream for dessert.

So did Charlie.

Sidenote: Charlie did see the Santa Fe at least 3 times during our visit. It was always about 100 cars long and full of coal!

I'm not sure who was taking all the portrait shots, but they did a good job.

dancing in the park

On Thursday evening we decided to take the kids to a free concert in Highlands Ranch. The kids loved getting right up close to the musicians.

Charlie is my dancer.

He feels the music.

Sophie sat back and enjoyed one of Gran's home-made chocolate chip cookies!

railroad park

Today we took my parents to visit one of the kid's FAVORITE places, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. We rode the train, played on the playground, rode the carousel, Charles BBQ'd hotdogs for lunch, and we finished the day off with ice cream.  No wonder the kids love it, Charles and I love it too!
