The SpongeBob Musical

Starring Antonio as SpongeBob! Produced by DCC Theatre. Such a fun run! And the Cast Party was just as fun thanks to the party queens at our house! Here are a few shots from the show followed by a bit of a view from the party.

Avon, CO

The Fosters and the Underwoods spent a week enjoying Avon, CO and neighboring Beaver Creek and Vail. First breakfast stop was Westside Cafe in Vail, home of the amazing bloody mary and Modelito chaser. We went back to Hooked up at Beaver Creek where we repeated a 5-course meal for two from a single fish. Don't miss the view from the rooftop bar at the Westin in Avon. Spent a delightful morning at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail. Also in Vail we road up the mountain in the a ski gondola and the girls did a horseback ride at Vail Stables. The last big adventure was a Colorado River rafting trip. We've got to go back to Northside Kitchen in Avon, great little restaurant with amazing wine walls and a selection of California wines that rivals any store in Colorado Springs. All the pics are here.

Dog Day at the Zoo

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has two Dog Days every month. And you guessed it, Fido is welcome to come to the zoo! However, you've got to buy him/her a full-on ticket. There were plenty of other dogs there as well as plenty of groups without dogs who, in some cases, were getting a kick out of the dogs, too. The picture I missed was of a mountain lion who spotted Bonnie and stared at her, still as a rock, the entire time Bonnie was in his view.

Of all the animals, Bonnie seemed most
interested in the peacocks.







It was the first day the new entrance, gift shop,
and giraffe approach area was open.
