The Life and Times of the Cannodes: Family Weekend on Steriods

Ever wonder what a ten pound bag of fun looks like over a tiny little weekend? Well; I can tell you that no other family can pack this much fun successfully into one weekend.

We started out with a Molson Coors Employee Appreciation Picnic. Amy assumed a picnic at a park with burgers and brats. Instead, she found out how Molson Coors throws a party. The food was unbelievable; with shredded bbq pork, spicy mango chicken with risotto and of course chicken fingers and mac and cheese for the kids. Don't forget the beverages which were provided! They also had bouncy castles, water slides, face painting, hula dancers, a dunk tank and more! What fun! Kasey wanted to get his face painted; so we headed over. Amy had to show him how it was done first as he had never gotten his face painted before. Then it was Kasey's turn and he did Amazing. Was all smiles and kept giggling as she tickled him with the paint. Unfortunately, by the time Amy went over to get Karsten... the face painters were packing up shop. Next year, Karsten.

How does it look??

ROAARR!!!!

We also had some fun in the sun with the boys. As we are nearing the end of summer - we are trying to get our last 'swim days' in for the kids. Gma and Gpa enjoyed watching them splash around and loved even more the cuddle time in between when the boys needed to warm up a bit.

Make sure no cold gets inside, Gma.

Getting warmer...almost ready for some more pool time.

Sat night was the Bronco's first pre-season home game and Amy and Kris were Ready for a date night! Gma and Gpa Cannode watched the boys (which we know they just Hated!) and we rolled out ready to tailgate. We went to our usual spot and had a great time enjoying some fancy Killians and Blue moon and made chicken burritos for dinner. The game was a little lack luster as it was preseason, but our seats were Amazing! We dropped our season tickets this year and instead are now purchasing Arnie's tickets since they have now moved away from Denver. We are now on the 5th level... Front Row! Such Fun!

Sunday was another family day. We took the kids to the Rockies game and they were Enthralled with it! Super excited about Everything Baseball! In fact, Karsten loves it so much, we are having his 2nd B-day theme to be Softball... Stay tuned for his big day on the 25th! Kasey was so into cheering. He threw his arms in the air and screamed. Just Loved It! Not only did the Rockies win, but we also got a free concert after the Rockies game. Third Day, a Christian Rock Band, performed for the fans after the game was over. It was inspirational and just an all around Blast!
