Savage #staycation

So I said this yesterday on Facebook and it's true... Sometimes the sign of a good weekend is the lack of a ton of pictures! Matt's parents and brother were here Thur-Yesterday and we did a lot of fun things but honestly we were enjoying the moments and didn't snap too many pictures. And thats a good thing! BUT I do have a few to highlight the weekend!

Friday was Boys Day and Girls Day which was great.... and the guys went golfing!

 Meanwhile us girls starting the day off with a little shopping then went downtown to have High Tea like the fancy ladies we are! It's a special place that I like to take people when they come to visit and my MIL loved it!

 Friday night was GREAT we went to see Styx and Boston and we all couldn't have enjoyed the concert anymore than we did! We got to hear all our favorite songs and the weather was just perfect! I had "More than a feeling" that we would all love it and we did! (You see what I did there?? ha)

 Saturday we started off with a great breakfast here in Castle Rock before heading downtown to the Rockies game and even though it felt like we were sitting on the surface of the sun we all had a wonderful time and my husband has the sunburn to prove it!

 I wasn't as big of a trooper as these guys.... I gave up and went to find a spot in the shade for the last hour, I just couldn't hang! After the game I tok everyone to a German place I love and then we all had a friendly game of Bocce..... and Matt and I won in case you were wondering! lol!

Sunday morning Matt's parents headed out early so Landon and Matt did what else.... GOLF! Then the three of us went to the pool and had a steak dinner on our patio before Landon headed out!
I think I can speak for all of us including my dogs.... we were worn out but only because we had so much fun!

4th of July Week....

First of all Happy 4th of July family and Friends! I hope your day is filled with family, food and fun!!!

We started off the Savage family vacation last Sunday with a lazy pool/cookout day! We are also trying to enjoy our current neighborhood before we move at the end of the month! Stapleton has like 6 pools with parks and the newest one has grills and even ping pong tables outside the pool! SO we hooked in the tent and had a ball!

 I planned all the cookout items which makes me happy and we all had the best time! We grilled out burgers, dogs, I made deviled eggs, rice krispie treats and of course fruit, chips... you know the works! Us girls laid out at the pool while the guys either played corn hole or drank some beer under the tent! But after dinner when the pool was clearing out we ALL jumped in and swam around like kids and it was just the best time.

How neat are these ping pong tables? All you need is paddles and balls! Here Matt and his cousin Tessa are in a heated game.......

In fact we had so much fun that we are kinda recreating this today... we invited a couple friend of ours to the pool and I got brats to cookout and of course I will pack the ping pong paddles! ha

 Matt's family rented a house in charming Georgetown but it was also nice that 3 nights someone decided to come back to Denver and stay with us too! The dogs got plenty of love all week!

 I Loved that I was able to use our fancy camera several times last week and I took it on our Georgetown Loop train ride which I LOVE! Here is my Mother-in-law Micki and her sister Mitzi! What a great picture of the two of them!

 How cute are my Brother and Sister-in-law Colby and Michael? It was nice that they both were able to take off work to spend the week in Colorado with everyone! He is a cop and she is an awesome hair stylist!

 YAY! I got to be in a few pictures! And after this picture I left them in the sun car and I headed to a covered car because I was melting!

 The rest of our group was off on a Zip-lining day trip while we rode the train!

 The train ride is just stunning and this is actually the 3rd time I have taken the trip and each time I enjoy it just as much as the first time!

 I enjoyed getting to drive into Georgetown each day to spend the day with the family, we all wish Matt could have taken off work more but when you are the Boss-Man that is hard to leave the office! Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I actually live in Colorado because it is so beautiful. We really ended up somewhere great! Stay tuned for more vacation posts!!!

I'm BAAACK!

Sorry I have been away friends but Matt's whole family has been in town for a week and I have been too busy having fun! LOL! So over the next few days I will share with you all the highlights of the week! Starting with yesterday all of us "kids" decided to be daring and go White Water Rafting! Now... like 15 years ago in High School I went rafting every Summer with my youth group but with that being so long ago I was pretty anxious about getting back in the water!

This is my "I have arrived face and I am wearing cool water shoes"!!! haha!

 My Brother-in-law Michael set this all up for us since one of his childhood friends is a guide here! We rafted out of Idaho Springs, CO!

Here we are suited up and ready to go!

 The rest of the pictures are the ones the rafting company shoot for us and they turned out great! We took the 1/3 day trip and we wished we had booked the 1/2 day we had SO MUCH FUN! I mean look at our faces!
