I started the weekend by going to visit Jill and Lainey in Eagle. It's always EXACTLY a 2 hour drive from Denver, even when, like Friday, I hit an obnoxious amount of traffic through the narrows on I-25.
I-70 has got to be one of the most scenic highways in America.
I was only able to take a few pics while driving. Which, if it isn't, should be against the law along with texting, but I don't want to incriminate myself.
Like I said, a beautiful drive...
This is the sign that always throws me:
Friday, we walked to the Eagle Fair which happens every Friday at a big park in town. Jill and I weren't all that interested in the food or other items for sale (like homemade goose down pillows), so ended up walking to Moe's for some BBQ (SO thankful Jill's not a vegetarian anymore!)
At the Fair, though, we took Lainey to the looking zoo* (*also known as the petting zoo, but the animals were kind of stinky. Besides, Lainey was content to watch the animals from outside the fence.)
She especially liked the chickens.
The next day, we walked a bunch and generally enjoyed a beautiful summer day. After Lainey's first nap, she showed me how she can scoot a toy car along the floor, push a chair and carry my shoe. She will be 1 year old next month! I can't believe how big she is getting and how much she's learned already!
It was a short trip to Eagle and I drove back Sat night. Sunday morning, B and I went to watch the Pride Parade along Colfax downtown. It was huge! I haven't been for a few years, since my favorite gays left Denver. It has grown considerably since then. Which makes me happy. I mean, what's not to like about The Gays?!
For another, they love to (and CAN) dance:
And, apparently, they love a good pun:
