Week-end in Review

Last week-end was a whirlwind of fun times, including all of my favorite summer activities. First, while DG was off building fences, Hadley and I met Lora and Liv at the Cherry Creek Farmer's market. Slathered in sun screen and a hat, we walked through and got some amazing tomatoes, cucumbers and a loaf of Udi's ciabatta bread. On Sunday, we met Lora and Liv again at the Market in Larimer Square for lunch and Piazza del Arte, otherwise known as the yearly chalk art festival. Here are future BFFs Liv and Hadley getting to know eachother. Here is the little snippet of their conversation: "Hadley...Hadley... cute." :giggle blush: "Liv, so pretty. Wanna play dress up?" They are 13 months apart.

Here is one particularly good piece that caught DG's eye.

Here is a close up of the detail. Less than 4 hours after we left, all the hoses came out to wash all of these away!

And finally on Sunday night, we packed up the picnic back pack and headed up to our old hood to watch a free jazz concert in City Park. This is a weekly event in the summers. We met Kurt, Marie, and Luke who were in our Baby Class. We feasted on grilled chicken, potato salad, snap peas, red pepper, cherries and special Tiramisu from Sushi Den.

Chalk Art

We headed out Sunday morning to have breakfast downtown at The Market with some friends. This is a great local eatery in Larimer Square where we got the Spring Fling aka our Wedding Cake. As usual, there were about 20 Spring Flings sitting on a 6' cart ready for pick-up. We were there early to beat the heat and view the sidewalk chalk art festival that we go to every summer. Remember last year's?
It was beastly in the sun, and turned out to be a hat day for all of us. Nice angle DG. Can you see my nose hair?

Here are a few of the better pieces we saw. The weather was about 99 degrees in the shade, so I don't know how a lot of these people sat out for two days drawing. I could barely stand the sun for 5 minutes.
