Saturday Concert Outing

Yesterday we took a little family bike ride down to Hyde Park for a free concert. Truthfully, it wasn't a "little" ride. It was 24 miles and it was pretty dang hot outside. But it's fun to do as a family on a Saturday. Joel does this same ride every day to work. I don't think I would have the discipline to keep it up day after day. Good thing I work from home :). Joel's a rockstar.

Anyway, back to the concert. Donovan Frankenreiter (http://www.donavonf.com/) played at one of our favorite Hyde park hot spots, Parilla Grill. It was packed! But we snuck in a heard some good summer time tunes. Afterwards we hit up Goodies from some Chocolate treats and then headed to Camel's Back Park.

We finished the night off with Shaved Ice and Olympics! GO USA!!

Margo to the rescue

Kids Zone, the place where Ruby hangs her weekday-daytime hat, was closed this week.

Joel and I both had busy work weeks and we weren't quite sure how we would handle this dilemma. Margo decided to come into town on Tuesday to ease the load. She and Ruby had such a great time bonding. They went to the park, read books..and of course played on the air matress! Ruby spent a lot time showing off for Grandma. She started by telling her every word she knows and a few new tricks like walking backwards :) Poor Margo was introduced to the Backyardigans and even worse-DIEGO! Thanks for all your help Mama Gandara.
We feel very blessed to have such a supportive family.
