The Past Two Weeks: Colorado Week 2

...Continued from this post.

Colorado Week 2:

Tuesday we went to the newish IKEA in Centennial and had lunch with Grandma at California Pizza Kitchen (as you have surely noticed, our goal on this trip was to not eat at places that we have here in Sumter or Columbia. Not that that is a hard task with southern Colorado's variety and Sumter's, well, lack thereof.) We also had a dinner that evening with Ryan, Kim, and the kids.

Wednesday my friend Brooke (who is due with her first any day!) came over for a short visit, while Steve and C went to the park. After lunch the boys and I went to go hang out with Kim and the kids at their house, while Steve and my dad went to go play golf.

Thursday was a relaxing day as we hung out with Grandma and Grandpa, had lunch at Crave in Castle Rock, with Grandma, Kristi, and the newlyweds. That evening we had dinner at Steve's favorite pizza place, Old Chicago with Grandma, Grandpa, and Will and Brittany again!

Friday was our last day. Boo! My grandparents drove down to see us, and we had a nice breakfast and visit. It took a bit, but Christian warmed up to Pop Pop (he calls him "Lollipop") and Nonnie once Lollipop played ball with him. Friday during nap time my mom watched the boys so that Steve and I could go see "The Amazing Spider-Man"- better than the other. :o)

Whew- I made it through all three posts. But really, what a blessed time we had in Colorado. So refreshing and comforting to be home with family and friends. It only makes us want to be there so much more! *Fingers crossed!!* Thank you everyone for making our visit so special. And a big Congratulations to Will and Brittany!

Aw, Lollipop! I love it. What does Grandpa think of the new name?
