This past weekend was a four-day weekend for Paul, Abby, and I. We had the chance to really relax, get some work done around the house, buy Abby a mattress to turn her crib into a "big-girl" bed, hang out with friends and family, and watch football. It was a delightful long weekend.

We went to A Taste of Colorado down at the Civic Center Park in Denver. Only 2 blocks from Allen's condo, so we used his place as a meeting spot. As he was visiting friends in Utah, he let us use his condo parking spot, which saved us quite a big headache trying to find parking during a hot event. Our good friends, Jingjing and Andrew came along, as did my mom and dad.

A good representation of several local restaurants were there, selling samples of their food. Many, many artists and product demonstrations, carnival-type rides and entertainment, live music, and craft stations for kids rounded out things to do at the event. We had a lot of fun strolling around and eating free ice cream.


After A Taste of Colorado, we were invited to visit Kimberlee and Gwen to watch the CU vs CSU Mile-High Showdown. Gwen is one of Abby's best friends from school. We have gotten to know Gwen's mom pretty well over time, though we are still waiting to meet Gwen's dad. Sadly, the Rams crushed the Buffaloes.
