Boulder

so, you may have noticed that the blog hasn't been updated in, oh, about a month.
there are reasons. 
they will hit the blog soon.
because i feel almost at a loss for where to begin, let's just start with today.

today started with a 5 mile bike along the spring creek bike trail that ends up at the best splash park in town.
it's the most beautiful trail. 
under weeping willows, past rivers and horse farms. 
gorgeous.

i "needed" to go to boulder "today" because they had a killer deal on a fireplace screen we "needed" and that was the only store that had one in stock nearby. 
jon complied with my madness.  whoopie!

we loaded up the troops, made the purchase, and hit pearl street. 
it was hot (i mean, for colorado) and busy with street performers. 
jack was fascinated by a unicycling fire juggler so we stayed for the whole show.
thankfully, all the crude language flew straight over the boys heads.



hey finney, crack kills.



ok, the guy was really funny.



jack loved him.



we cooled off with starbucks blended strawberry lemonades. 
have you ever had one??
they're not on the menu, and they're delish!



this is the place the boys wanted to play at. 
it was a city, and they were giants.



lately, when you ask finn to take his picture, he strikes a pose such as this.



or this.



or perhaps this. 
heehee.



jack does this.



i gave jack a photography lesson and handed over my camera with my new lens. 
50mm 1.4 takes amazing pics.



my dudes.





love this guy.
he starts first grade in 10 days.







finn's been calling me "sweet love" and "angel baby" lately.
we're a nickname kind of family.



does anyone remember when jack called me "honey" exclusively for years?





jack asked to go to the top of the parking garage. 
he actually asks this all the time. 
so we drove on up 6 flights only to realize he'd really like to ride the elevator up.



we told 'em to hop out and take a ride. 
they were in heaven.
next time your little guy or gal asks for something silly....why not say YES!
