Philip & Sarah

Last weekend was so much fun! Our precious friends, Philip and Sarah, came up to visit for the weekend. We love having friends come visit us!

Friday night, we went into downtown Denver and walked 16th Street for awhile before deciding on a place to eat. We ended up eating at Brewery Bar, which was actually the original one in Denver. This place brews all of their own beer- which Sarah and I did not take part in enjoying (neither of us like beer). But the boys seized the moment and got some, to them, yummy beers. After dinner we walked down the street a little and enjoyed some dessert from The Cheesecake Factory. I don't remember what everyone else got, but mine was S'mores, and it was to die for. It had a giant melted marshmallow on top. Needless to say, we all went into a food coma and had to head home.

While we were walking to the car, we had to walk through a narrow sidewalk from construction, and this guy stuck his arm out. I think it was a "you go first" gesture, but David put our leftovers in his hand and said "you hungry?". The guy was on the phone, laughed and walked away with our food. It is still debatable what exactly happened. But we were laughing the whole way home.

The next day, David had to referee in the morning, so I made Sarah, Philip, and myself some bacon and eggs then we went for a walk on the trail behind our apartment. It was fun to get to show them 'our stomping grounds' and let Lylah get some energy out. On our way back, the neighborhood next to us was having a neighborhood-wide garage sale. We walked through it…but it was pretty lame. Not a lot of people were out selling stuff, and we think all the good stuff got grabbed early.

When we got home we played some hand and foot, where I destroyed them in the last round. We then headed off to Panera for lunch where David met up with us. After lunch, we adventured off to the mountains for an afternoon hike. We did a great trail that had some nice views and big hills that killed us. It was the perfect overcast weather so we weren't dying under the sun. When we got home we ate some dinner and played marbles. The boys attempted to beat us, and were winning when we went to bed, but as the game continued into Sunday afternoon, Sarah and I made a victorious comeback.

But rewinding to Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at Snooze. So delicious. Their food puts you into a coma for the whole day. So post breakfast, we sat on the patio and played games until Philip and Sarah continued on on their Colorado adventure to see Sarah's family. We absolutely loved having them here, and so did Belle. (Sarah loves cats and pampered Belle all weekend long).

Which is actually funny, because once Philip and Sarah left, we realized Belle was nowhere to be found. No one had seen her for the past two hours. David and I scoured the apartment complex for an hour and finally, David found her. She was terrified, hiding on our caddy-corner neighbor's patio. Poor kitty must have chased a bunny and freaked when she realized she had no clue where she was. Belle is now restricted to only being allowed on the patio when one of us is there.

aren't they cute?!

Philip likes to climb anything and everything

This gross thing was on the trail….ew.
