A note about our summer vacation to Denver

So you know from a few posts back that Leif and I are headed to Denver, July 10-16th. Many of my readers here are friends and family from that area. We do enjoy visiting with people and well understand that we don't see you all for long periods at a time, airlines do fly both ways you know... ;-). However, our visits in the recent past have become extremely hectic trying to fit in visits with everyone, especially now that many of Hans' family members have returned to the area.

Leif is generally a happy, adaptable baby (I will not say "little boy" or "toddler" until he is 1 year...), however, he does not usually spend a lot of time with large numbers of people. He also has not to the point spent longer than 1 hour in the car. If you want to visit with us we would be happy to arrange lunch in the Ft. Collins, Windsor, Loveland area, or have you come by my mom's house and hang out. Leif needs to have a place he is somewhat familiar with to nap and to hang out. He is also very mobile and requires a lot of mommy's attention in a place that is not baby proofed.

We have two trips to Denver planned at this point. One to go to the zoo with his cousins and aunt and the other to have a BBQ for a joint early birthday party with cousin Celeste. If anyone wants to come for the joint BBQ, let me or Ang know. No dates have been set for these but it will be during the week sometime.

We will try to fit everyone in as best as possible, but if it doesn't work out, I am sorry. The intention of our vacation is to relax, not to stress about being places and who we haven't met up with yet. We would love to host everyone at our house at any point and then you get unlimited one on one time with Leif!
