Family Fun

Last weekend we got to go to Denver to see Aunt Chara, who had gotten Joe tickets to the Broncos/Steelers game. We left Friday afternoon, but we got tickets to the Jazz game for Thursday night and decided to take the kids. JJ was in heaven, his eyes almost popped out of his head! When the crowd was cheering "De-fense" he wanted to join in and cheered "be-friends". Chiara was also very excited to be there and half way through the first quarter she gasped and said "Mom, the Jazz are 20, that means they are winning!!!" It was a late game though, so at half time we asked the kids if they wanted to go home. At first Chiara said "No, I want to see who wins". When I told her we could check the scores at home the next day she looked at me with tired eyes and said "I guess we can go, I am a little sleepy".
While we were in Denver Chiara got to have a girls night with Aunt Chara and they went to see "Where the Wild Things Are". Joe and I took JJ to Buffalo Wild Wings. He was a little bit wild himself, I guess that was the theme for the evening, so the waiter brought him this hat and a balloon. Don't worry, Mark, we thought about you the whole time :)

Chiara and I were playing with the camera in the car...


We got to the game and realized our "Row 1" tickets really did mean the very front row. We had sooo much fun cheering, and I heard I was on TV. The Steelers won and we got on the train to head back to the car we parked in the RTD parking lot only to find...



Yup, the back window was smashed in. Whoever did it also vandalized 12 other cars in the same lot. The crazy thing is that they didn't steal a thing, they didn't even get in the car. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise perfect vacation! Thanks Chara for the awesome weekend!

Ok. So for as much as I hate the Steelers - I have to admit - that picture of the two of you on the field is actually pretty cute. :) Glad you had a good time. My window got smashed in at the church in the parking lot last summer - and my purse was stolen. You're lucky that the broken window is all you have to deal with.
