Brian had a trip to Brazil planned 3 days after he returned from England, so I decided to pack up Emily and head to my parents in Colorado Springs while he was gone. S0, besides a fun blow-out (Emily - And we did not have a change of clothes so I was WT mom with my 2-year old wearing only a diaper) on the plane ride there, we arrived uneventfully, just in time for 1 1/2 weeks of rainy days. But finally the sun came out near the end of the trip, and Brian was able to join us for a few days. We did a little bit of hiking, and hanging out with my dad while my mom taught her piano lessons.
Emily couldn't hike very well with her cast, so daddy got a work-out hiking with her on his shoulders.
2. 'Wicked' Trip
The weekend after we got home from Colorado, Brian's sister and family (2 boys) came to visit. While they were here, Brian's parents came down for a night and watched all the kids. We went to Hollywood where we saw Wicked the musical, and stayed the night in Hollywood. We did the cheesy Hollywood thing that night, walked around the Gromahns Chinese Theater, and we even went to the wax museum. I hadn't done any of it before, despite living within 45 mins of there my entire life. I forgot my camera, and took some cell phone pics, but then my phone died and with it all my photos. My sister in law took a few, so when I get them I will add them to the post.
The hotel we stayed at was great, it was right next door to the Kodak Center/Mall. Went to Mel's Diner for Brunch, and then back home to the kids. It was so nice to sleep in as long as I wanted!!!
3. Emily got her cast off!!! YEA!
4. Jack Johnson Concert
Brian's brother Matt got us tickets to go see Jack Johnson. We went last night. What a great concert. Love his music, it was at the Verizon Ampitheater, outdoors, what a great venue. Besides getting high off second-hand pot smoke (right next to us) it was perfect! He was a great performer, and I didn't want it to end.
