Denver Weekend

What a awesome weekend...but I am so exhausted. It started Saturday morning in Denver with Jacob's soccer game. Ian and William played on the playground.

With all of the team present, they decided to pose for a team photo. Of course, I didn't bring my nice camera. I didn't want to carry it around but see what happens when you down size.

Some of the boys attended the Rapids game and were able to participate in a parade around the field. I think they really enjoyed it, and it made them all feel a little special.

Ian and I sat with Jacob and the rest of his team. William and John sat together on the shady side of the field. I heard that despite William freezing (he didn't want to bring his jacket) he really was well behaved. So were the other boys...for the most part. :)

After the game, we headed to Longmont to spend the night at the Best Western. Ian wouldn't sleep in his own crib so me and John had to share our bed - something I absolutely hate doing. It had to be done though. We needed rest, especially William. His first karate tournament was early the next day.

William did great. It's hard to put yourself out there in front of people you don't know to be judged. He didn't place in Kata or Kumite, but I'm really proud of him. 

On our way home, we stopped in Denver for lunch at the Bagel Deli. John was in heaven. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. John had his favorite. corned beef. He said it was really good. Ian made a HUGE mess with syrup. I just ignored him. He had fun and ate. I just cleaned him up afterwards. It just wasn't worth the stress. 

All in all, an excellent, exciting, busy, exhausting weekend, and man I am glad it's Monday! :)
