The big holiday weekend and kickoff to summer couldn't come soon enough for both Bron and me! We had a long week here. Bron had a work trip in Denver while I held down the fort by my pregnant self here at home. Wednesday felt more like Friday for both of us but we still had two more work days to endure! In fact, I don't remember what we actually did on Friday night. I'm pretty sure we just crashed after putting the kids to bed. However, the party began first thing Saturday morning and we played hard all weekend long!
Saturday morning I agreed to run "shuttle service" for both Bron and his friend Aaron. They rode their mountain bikes down Third Fork. The little boys and I hiked and explored around the bottom of the trail until they arrived back. In fact, the trail was in such amazing condition, that the guys decided to run it TWICE! I was dyyying of jealousy. This whole growing a baby thing requires some sacrifice, you know. Of all the things I miss most, getting on my bike for an adrenaline pumping ride is near the top of the list. "Next year," I keep chanting to myself because safety trumps risking injury. But the whole morning was a win-win for all of us after all, I think. I truly enjoy getting out of the house and into the sunshine with my little boys!
Afterwards, I was the one who came home and napped for two hours! Sounds a little backwards, right? Totally. Bron took the boys with him to the hardware store to buy a long-awaited weed whacker while I snoozed at home. Thanks, Honey! He's great. I think I'll keep him. :)
Then that night we enjoyed a barbecue with the Horsleys and roasted marshmallows over a fire in the backyard. Annnd to top it all off, my friend Amy and I got to sneak to the store for some late night shopping. Pretty perfect day, right? Absolutely. But that was just the beginning...
