A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Gig night. It seems that these nights out for live music have become rare. Boot Barn Hall is one of the few venues in town still booking bands and we are SO grateful. SofaKillers put on their first full gig since the rona…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Lost Island Adventure. If you are looking for a great local place to have a fantastic time–head to Lost Island Adventure. They are fully open with two fun and challenging miniature golf courses–complete with numerous dinosaurs and even King Kong, an outdoor inflatable…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cheap Entertainment. Last week one of our neighbors had a garage sale and I scored two things I’ve been on the hunt for–a badminton set and croquet set. I got both for $5.00. You may be wondering why I would be in search for…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Drones. We were out doing one of our favorite summer activities–going to garage sales–a couple of weeks ago and my youngest spied a box that contained a really cool looking drone in it. The lady selling it noticed his interest and told him…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Messenger Kids. So, our boys are both now officially middle schoolers (sob!). With them getting bigger, they are most definitely wanting bigger (and much more expensive) things, more responsibility, and….technology. We are holding off on getting them their own phones for several reasons, but…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Our favorite parks. We’ve lived in our neighborhood almost 10 years and have several parks we frequent–especially in the summer. It’s so bizarre to see my now gigantic boys effortlessly scrambling up and around play structures that seemed like such death traps when…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A real live gig–FINALLY! It’s been 111 days since SofaKillers played a live gig and it just so happened that they got to have their first gig back at the last place they played–Boot Barn Hall. What a fun time! With many restrictions…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Camping! We FINALLY got to take our first camping trip of the season. We went to our favorite spot just outside of Lake City, CO. It’s quite a drive from Colorado Springs (about 4 1/2 hours), but it is SO worth it–some of…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Puzzles. We decided to jump on the “let’s do a puzzle as a family” bandwagon. We chose one from The Mandalorain with baby Yoda (I thought Grayson was going to faint with excitement). It’s only 500 pieces, but it may just be the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Hard workin boys. Last year we took down the pirate ship Super Rockstar had built for our boys (you can read that here)–this left a nice space for something new. Super Rockstar has been wanting to put a shed back there for a long…
