Denver Week 1!

---

Have had a awesome week here in Denver. We absolutely love it and are so glad we chose the Washington Park neighborhood. We've gone on several walks (sometimes 3x a day!) and bike rides to Washington Park. I love to walk the neighborhoods here with the dogs and look at the houses and landscape. The weather has been nice, 90's mid-day, but really nice in the mornings and in the afternoons.

Wednesday, June 19 we had dinner in the Highlands neighborhood at a restaurant called Rosa Linda's. The owner, Oscar was super friendly and talked to us most of the time. Right across the street was a vintage furniture shop, where the girls spotted a home-made lemonade stand, that we had to go check out. It wasn't for sale, but the owner said the girls could come down any Friday or Saturday and sell lemonade 😊

Thursday, June 20 after dropping off the girls to soccer camp, I walked Gus and Winnie/Maddie (separately) and then Chris and I rode our bikes around Wash Park.

Friday, June 21 we took the girls to their last day of soccer camp and then Chris and I went to Crossfit Elevation. Worked out and then went and picked the girls up. We came home, ate lunch and then headed out to watch Matt Evan's (Coach of Girls soccer @ Del Sol) U18 Girls team play in the ECNL National Playoffs, which were located in Aurora. We then met Matt out for dinner at The Vine Street and Pub, which was packed with younger people. We sat and talked for almost 3 hours and then headed home.

Saturday June 22, we got up - I walked the dogs (Gus and then the other two) and then we headed out to see another team of Matt Evan's U17 Girls team play in the ECNL National Playoffs. We then stopped and had lunch at Las Caras, which was pretty good, and then stopped at Target so the girls could get water balloons, sidewalk chalk and squirt guns. We came back to the house and the girls spent the afternoon playing in the backyard. We took the dogs on a walk to Doc Basil's a pizza shop around the corner and then headed home and spent the night in watching The Goonies 😊.
