Rockies Game

This past weekend Holly, Lilly and I went to a Rockies game with my parents, my sister Beth and her husband Geoff. It started to rain in the seventh when the Rockies were down by 7 or so runs. This cleared out the stands and Lilly and I were able to sit in the first row about 30 feet from the third baseman. A fly ball was hit to the Dodger's center fielder ending the inning. As he jogged into the infield he tossed the ball to their left fielder, Tony Gwynn. As he trotted past he saw Lilly and tossed me the ball. What a memorable game!

Rapids Soccer Game

Holly, Lilly and I went to a Colorado Rapids soccer game this past weekend. Lilly's soccer club is associated with the Rapids and we were able to get pretty good seats for the club night. As a bonus Lilly was selected as one of the 22 kids to walk out hand-in-hand with one of the players. Lilly was escorted out by #15, Wells Thompson. It was fun because he started the game and Lilly was able to cheer for him.

Copper Mountain Biking

This past weekend Holly, Lilly and I went mountain biking at Copper Mountain. We had done this trip last year and wanted to make sure to do it again. We climbed the dirt road that zigzags across the mountain from the base area up to the ski patrol station at 12,000 feet. It was so much fun to have Lilly really working with me on the tag-a-long.

A great ride

Dads and Kiddos Camping Weekend

This weekend Lilly and I joined three other dads with their kiddos for a camping weekend at Lone Rock Campground near Deckers, CO. The campsite was right on the South Platte River and we were able to float the river on tubes right from our camp. The cool water felt great with the sun beating down on us.

A side trip of the weekend was mountain biking with Lilly. Below is a great video of Lilly riding some singletrack and taking a digger.
