Lookout Mountain

This past Sunday, Holly, Lilly and I rode up Lookout Mountain. Lilly was on her tag-a-long behind me. I rode Holly's mountain bike so I'd have disc brakes for the ride down. In the car before the ride Lilly said, "The ride down will be the ride of my life." :)


Lilly did great - she pedaled the whole way up. There were quite a few comments cheering her on. There were a couple guys who noticed us at the top and said, "You made it! Good job!" What fun. The day was sunny and warm and we were all a little overdressed. What a ride on December 20th.

Here's the profile of Lookout:


Dance Recital

Lilly had a little dance recital last week. They did both a balet and tap routine. Mom, Dad, Aunt B and Uncle Geoff were in the audience.


A little nervous.





Ready to start.

Denver Parade of Lights

Saturday evening Holly, Lilly and I went to downtown Denver's Parade of Lights. We got a little cold by the end but held out for Santa (the last float). There were people juggling fire, dogs with lights, around 8 high school marching bands and three giant balloons: Rudolph, The Denver Post dog and the Penguin, the mascot of Parade of Lights.

Dogs with lights!
