Beware of the brown bear

This is what 5:30am looks like in Colorado. 

"Be on the lookout for the brown bear," A's brother warned us last night before we went to bed. There's been one wandering their neighborhood and since we are leaving before there's light, just gotta be on the safe side. 
It was funny. A opened the front door and turned on his phones flashlight to make sure there was no brown bear waiting for us out on the porch. No bear. Phew. We are safe. But wouldn't that be something, to see a brown bear at your front door?

Weekend Getaway in Colorado

So here it is, Sunday night and I'm all packed and ready to head home. The bf and I took a last minute flight after work on Friday to head out to Colorado Springs to visit his brother and help celebrate his 40th birthday. 
I love these kinda of trips! We spent the weekend in a beautiful house with a forrest-like backyard running around with A's little nieces and nephews. We definitely had a blast. I'll write more about the trip later, but had to share the backyard view. 

They've set up a zip line for the kids. A place to practice archery and of course the playhouse. You can't see the giant trampoline on the right side of the house. I totally want one of those. 

I'm sad to leave this place. I would totally move to CO in a heartbeat if the opportunity came up. 

Anyways, I gotta head to bed. We've got an early morning flight since I actually have to go to work tomorrow. It'll be a short work day as I'll be wiped out, but deadlines have to be met. Sigh. Why does work always get in the way of a good time??

Tuesday with the bestie

Today was Tuesday night with the bestie. Totally unplanned nights are the best. I came home from work and she suggested we go get our toes done. Why not? Great idea. My feet needed that :)

And top it all off with some froyo from Yogurtland. That's the icing on the cake. I loves me some froyo!
