A Visit to Colorado: Superbowl Party

When we made plans (in October) to visit Colorado, we consulted many calendars to find a weekend that would work for everyone involved, but somehow neglected to consider the Superbowl. So we found ourselves in Colorado for Superbowl weekend, where Brooke and Dave graciously accepted when we invited ourselves to their Superbowl party :)

The party was a whirlwind of food, laughter, reconnecting with old friends, playing with the kids, babysitting a stuffed cat (the babysitter kept "losing" her, but somehow kept being asked to babysit again!), and a third-quarter princess parade (fortunately the television was mounted relatively high and the princesses were all very short!).

Oh, and a football game that I'd rather not remember.

I think the pictures speak for themselves this time, so here they are:

Adelaida sat in the middle of the floor and played with balls while Mackenzie, Elise, and Alexa pretended to be lions (or tigers? or dogs? some four-legged mammal.)


Adelaida and I were proud Colts supporters -- which of course prompted several other, formerly undecided, party-goers to cheer for the Saints.


Part of the princess parade: Gentry, Kylie, Elise, Alexa, and Anna pose in their princess (and Avelanche cheerleader) finest.


Another shot of the princess parade: Anna, Gentry (I'm not sure how the drill made it into the parade?), Kylie, Elise, and Alexa


One of the princesses left her tiara on the coffee table, and Adelaida immediately latched on to it. She knew it was supposed to go on her head, but never quite got it on correctly. She didn't poke her eyes out, either!


Dale found a fellow FCB-supporter in Levi.


Dale is watching the game; Charlotte is watching Adelaida; Adelaida is watching the bigger kids.


Looking back on the Superbowl party, I remember it very fondly, despite the disappointing outcome of the game. Only a fun group like we were with could make such a tough Superbowl loss a good memory!
