Weekend Update





We had a pretty low-key weekend, but fun anyway. Alice was here through Sunday morning and on Saturday we went for breakfast at cousin Leah and Andrew's house. Daniel was still suffering from his cold so he stayed home. We ate the closest thing to NY bagels found in Denver, and Leah even made chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Zoe showed us her newest trick... check out the movie!



Tonight Daniel and I went to dinner at the Melting Pot to celebrate a belated Valentine's Day.
We love fondue! YUM!!!

High Tea for Leah


Leah's baby boy is due in about a month, and we wanted to do something special for her. Sondra and I planned High Tea at the Brown Palace Hotel. Luckily we planned it around Alice's visit so she could join us. We drank delicious tea and ate yummy scones and finger sandwiches. It was just lovely!

Lake Havasu

For anyone I haven't told - my parents are moving to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. They just finished spending about a month there getting their new house ready. Luckily we were able to visit them last weekend. It's a beautiful place! We loved seeing their house and how happy they are there. Here are pics of the new abode, plus our weekend adventures. On our first day we took the Dixie Belle boat tour of a section of the lake. The weather was a little chilly but we had fun anyway. We learned some interesting history about the area and got to see the famous London Bridge - which is now the largest antique in the United States. Click on the link to learn more about the bridge! After the boat ride, we walked around the Englishtown and along the side of the lake. Daniel was obsessed with taking pictures all weekend. Most of these were taken with his new lens. Very cool!


























The second day we were there, we had chilly, windy weather so we stayed in most of the day. We played many games of May I. Fun, fun! On our last day we drove to Hoover Dam on the way to the Vegas airport. It was pretty awesome to see! The picture of the Colorado River among the mountains was from a stop off of the highway. The scenery in the southwest is gorgeous! We are already looking forward to our next visit!
