Fun night with friends!

Patrick was given some tickets to the Nuggets/Celtics game for last Monday night. He got 4 tickets, a parking pass and some $$ for food. Plus the seats were really great seats! We took our friends Mike and Lara, and the night was so much fun. The Nuggets didn't play up to par, but because none of us are die-hard fans, we didn't much care. The point of the night was to have fun and THAT we did!!!

Hike

Last weekend, we took a hike to the ponds that are near our house. It's a nice thing for us to be able to get to a natural area very quickly. It only takes a few minutes to get there, and we can do things like fish and throw rocks in the water, walk on nice trails, look for wildlife. The kids LOVE it. In fact, Marky and Maddie weren't along for this particular adventure and when they found out we had gone they were both disappointed. Here are a few pictures of our outdoor adventure.

She's a girly-girl

I took these pictures of Meredith last Sunday when we went on a hike. I absolutely love the "true-to-herself " way that she has her dress on while she is enjoying the outdoors. I wonder if Patrick ever imagined that he would father such a sweet little girl. Loving the things he loves outside, dressed up like the girly-girl that she truly is.
