Other Stuff We've Been Up To the Summer

Pearl St. Mall in Boulder

Lakeside!!

Lakeside is our favorite local amusement park.  It's old and kind of junky while at the same time beautifully retro.  The rides have that edgy this-thing-is-going-to-fall-apart-at-any-time kind of feel to them, which I personally think only adds to the Park's charm.

Film on the Rocks!

If you've never been to a show at Red Rocks - Go!  It's hand's down, one of the best venues in the country, if not the world. Film on the Rocks is a fun, inexpensive way to enjoy it with the family.  You get a concert, comedian and movie all for $10!  We saw "Across the Universe" on this night.  The concert was a Denver "supergroup" consisting of performers from several locally popular bands covering Beatles tunes.  The kids spent hours running the steps and exploring the rocks.

What's in that bottle Isaac?  Forty-something delinquent!

My favorite Red Rocks shows are the Blues Traveler 4th of July shows.  You can see every fireworks display in the city, including one on the other side of the ridge to the east of the stage which creates a shower of sparkles over the stage during the show.
