Bittersweet last week here

We're having such a good time here, we're going to be sad to leave!!!

This last week in Colorado has been Cousin Camp for Wee. My brother Ed's 19 year old daughter Hannah like Colorado so much during the Schoenberg family reunion that she jumped at the chance for a trip back. Hannah and Wee have spent the week sleeping in as late as 10, swimming, playing with the neighbors, feeding ducks at Wonderland Lake, playing on the playground, playing tennis, making cookies, making t-shirts, and generally just hanging out. Hannah has tried quelling some of Wee's silliness while imparting some of her own bootie-shaking-tootie-ta-singing silliness.

Meanwhile Alex and I have continued working remotely with east coast lunch time breaks for running, biking, hiking, and tennis followed by Boulder's farmers market bounty filled lunches. When we get back to our regular lives we'll have to establish a little working from home action just to keep this summer's spirit alive.

The evenings have taken us to see Annie at Boulder Dinner Theater, make dinner and check cabin progress on The Land a couple times (once including Amy), watch the movie Top Gun at Red Rocks, shop and dine at the Boulder Farmers Market, and people watch and shop on the Pearl Street Mall. Being able bring Hannah to her first viewing of the cinematic genius of Top Gun in a crowd of 9000 in the natural beauty and incredible acoustics of Red Rocks was definitely the highlight of the week. The cool side shot of that was that we went from watching the band Paper Bird open for Top Gun at the mammoth venue of Red Rocks on Tuesday and see them sing again in a doorway on Pearl Street the very next day.
