If there could be a "perfect day", I think yesterday would have been one of them. For the past several years, we have gone downtown to Larimer Square for the "Chalk Art" event that is held early in June. We then have a tradition of going to "Spaghetti Factory" for lunch. We walked up and down to see all the works of art which is pretty amazing. The art on the streets is very short lived, but what these people do is pretty amazing and always fun to see. There was a stand selling the pastels and art drawing books so we picked up a few supplies. I think seeing the crayons/colors in boxes and laid out on the street is probably one of my favorite parts of being there. The best part of the day was being all together. I can't exactly describe it, but being all together was so incredible. LUnch was fun and funny and there were lots of laughs, funny stories and just a good time. It was apparent how much fun we really do all have together, that we are able to be ourselves with eachother (good thing since we are a family ;) ) and how close the boys are as friends and brothers.
Later in the afternoon, we were all outside...playing kickball and then just sitting around the table hanging out. To top off the day, we watched the season premier of Food Network "The Next Food Network Star." Who knew that tv shows like this could pull a family all together. That will be our "family time" on Sunday nights.
Chris leaves for Europe on Thursday so this time was extra special since he will be gone for 12 days. There sure will be a missing hole in our house until he comes back home. I will treasure this day and reflect on it until he returns home. Sunday was just a perfect day.
