Spring Soccer

Today was the last soccer game of the spring season. Lilly's team played hard and had fun.

Spring Concert

The first grade at Westerly Creek put on a performance of The Mice from Outer Space this week. The musical tells the tale of mice from outer space crash landing on Earth. At first the earth mice and space mice realize they are different and do not like each other. By the end of the performance the mice have teamed up against the cat and realize they are more similar than they first thought. Lilly was a space mouse.







The video below turned out pretty bad - a strong zoom without a tripod makes for some shaky footage. The audio is surprisingly good though, so check it out.

Hike

Today we hiked at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. A little chilly, but fun. Lilly was "In the groove," and Boo kept up well for a 60 year-old :).


Strong!

Denver Zoo

We ended our Easter Sunday by taking a quick trip to the Denver Zoo. It was a fun time and so easy with our membership passes from Grandma Julie.

Soccer Game #1

Lilly had her first soccer game today. It was actually her team's 4th game, but due to various reasons (trips to Iowa, Steamboat...) she missed the first few. Her team played well and they all had fun.


A great view from Stapleton's Central Park. Check out the soccer ball in the upper right corner!

Steamboat

This past weekend we met Holly's sister Aimee in Steamboat. Her daughter Kalie came home on spring break with her boyfriend Nate. Kelsie and Alex and Alicia also were there. The snow was amazing for late March and the weather was nice and warm at the bottom. Spring skiing!


Lilly on the gondi - ready for the day!


An awesome run. Knee-deep powder and steep.


Beer at the bottom.


Lunch with Lilly.

Gooooooooooooaaaaal!


Workin' it.

Time Warp

Lilly's spring play was Time Warp, a play about time travel. In the play a family of 4 children travel to the night of the Titantic, the night of President Lincoln's assasination (thwarted by the kiddos), the Oregon Trail and forward in time to Star Wars. Lilly played a passenger on the Titantic and a traveler on the Oregon Trail.
