Who's a bad, bad blogger?

Ever since I started using Twitter I've pretty much ignored this site. Today isn't going to be any different. Drive by photo blogging I'm afraid.

Here's the short version of what we've been up to. Add a lot of sitting on the couch watching movies & surfing the web and you can fill in all the blanks.

At the end of May Macaroni and I took my parents to Washington D.C. for a last minute Memorial Day weekend trip. We had an awesome time, saw Obama's helicopter twice and I got a wicked sunburn. I never get sick of visiting there.

Jboy finished his first (and last?) year at the U and moved home. He also got the coolest haircut ever!


Macaroni survived elementary school, got a new pair of transition glasses and next year will be going to the middle school where I met my best friend. Many, many years ago.

Speaking of Shayne, I just got home from a quick weekend trip to Denver to see her and my beautiful goddaughter. We had dinner at a cute Scottish restaurant in Old Town on Friday and then walked around checking out the sights.

Saturday morning we took KK to a birthday party at the park and then Shayne and I went to Denver for the night, where we went to a charity screening of Dr. Horrible & Serenity - happy belated birthday Joss! We got dessert from The Cheesecake Factory and watched a couple of minutes of ET on a big screen in the park before walking up and down the 16th Street Mall. Just realized I didn't take a single photo in Denver.

Sunday we took KK up to Estes Park and got her face painted at a Scandinavian Festival, searched the little shops for a souvenir for Macaroni and saw lots of elk, right next to the road.

Monday we went back up to Estes and rode the tram 1200 feet up to the top of Prospect Mountain, where KK fed (and ate) lots of peanuts to the chipmunks. The trip went way too fast and it was hard to leave.
