Labor Day in Colorado (Denver)

After Boulder we headed back to Denver for the day. We grabbed lunch and sweets before heading to Meow Wolf. Meow Wolf is an interactive art museum that was unlike anything we have seen before. There is no start/exit and we were told if we end up getting lost, we were doing it right. There were 3 floors of varied size and themes rooms that all connected in various ways. It was very interesting but also overwhelming. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Denver!

After Meow Wolf, we checked out a local brewery before heading to the Rockies game. Despite the Rockies' season, it was fairly full thanks to all the Cubs fans there to route on the visiting team. We enjoyed the fruit skewers before heading to Ft Collins for the rest of the weekend.

Labor Day in Colorado (Boulder)

With a long holiday weekend, we decided to make the most of it and head to Colorado! We started the trip in Boulder where Georgia Tech played a Friday night football game against University of Colorado. Parker and dad flew out early to tailgate and the rest of us joined later that night. We enjoyed seeing some familiar faces and lots of Tech fans throughout the weekend. Tech pulled out a great win kicking off a great weekend!

Before leaving Boulder for Denver, we visited the University of Colorado (working on college visits for Carter) and hiked the Flatirons. The hike was beautiful but an aggressive uphill climb that all members of the group didn't appreciate.

Avery (11 years) - Avery turned double fingers this month! She celebrated with friends, making candles, swimming and eating pizza. She was excited about gifts of Joy Ride, a Travis Kelce shirt, all the Savannah Bananas merch and shopping at the mall. She enjoyed seeing family and spending the day doing her favorite things.

Avery has settled right into school. She has friends in every class and likes her teachers. She is learning about studying and time management but school has been manageable so far. She decided to join the chorus and band (playing flute).

Parker (13 years, 9 months) - Parker didn't get much of a baseball break but he is back at it for the Fall playing on 2 teams: Cobb Interleague 16u Might Mussels and Smyrna Slammers 14u. He is nervous about playing with older kids on the 16u team but excited to be back on the field with his brother and Coach Dad. Overall he is looking forward to hanging out with friends on the field! 

He is also very happy to be back at school and spend time with school friends!

Carter (15 years, 3 months) - Carter ran his first 5k, joining dada and some friends for the Vining's Downhill. The race finishes at Lovett which makes it a little extra entertaining. Carter is playing baseball with Parker and a ton of friends this field and is looking forward to it. He is also glad to be back at school and get to spend time with his buddies. He has a strong course load this year so he is nervous about it but looking forward to the classes.

Siblings - The kids enjoyed some fun Braves games despite the team's struggle on the field.
