Yesterday was a hoppin’ day. I snuck out to hike Red Rocks with two of my Colorado Mountain Mamas besties Tina and Christen. It was long overdue.
Like three years overdue.
I tore home, showered, grabbed Bode and his friend Sean and we hightailed it to The Village at Edgewater. I’m posting a review of it in a couple of weeks but the concept for this play area/healthy restaurant/learning center is brilliant.
Bode and Sean played to their heart’s content in the 1,500-square- foot play area and gorged on amazingly delicious kid pizzas, baked French fries and strawberry smoothies while I had the Roasted Chicken Breast Sandwich with Swiss cheese, roasted red pepper aioli, sprouts, and tomato on rosemary foccacia bread.
It was a win-win-win-win situation.
We stopped off at Crown Hill Park on the way home to explore the trail and throw rocks in the pond.
My friend Kristen picked up Sean around 3:30 p.m. and not even 30 minutes later, she emailed me this photo with the caption: “Look at what you did to my son.”
My response?
“Dude, tell him to suck it up. That’s what it’s like every day Chez Johnson.
