Our weekend

So, my last post was pretty calm...quietly adjusting around here. This past weekend was a reminder that we can be busy, too. Let's see...

Asher came home on Friday and we spent the afternoon switching around iPhones, as Nathan, Asher and I all got new phones. Micah took the bus from Boulder up to Fort Collins and we picked him up at the transit center and then transferred his phone, too, as he inherited my old iPhone. Asher also went to demo team practice and we all caught up on stories. (Boys away at college have much more interesting and entertaining stories than we do, lol.) 

On Saturday, Micah got his annual covid and flu shots. (We'd had to time them mid-cycle between infusions hence his coming home this weekend...which worked out fine given the other things also going on.) After that, we headed down to the first annual Colorado Korean Festival in Denver... 

We sat down to a late lunch (hit traffic on the way) and enjoyed watching some K-Pop dance instruction and traditional drum and traditional fan performances.

We then also wandered the various vendors and watched the Taekwondo performance, got some traditional Korean drinks (no idea what was in them, lol...it was too loud to talk to the vendor), and thoroughly enjoyed watching the K-Pop random dance. They'd start a random K-Pop song and if you knew the choreography, you jumped out on the stage and did it. They did that for an hour. Who knew that each K-Pop song has specific choreography? Wow. (Micah and I were a little/lot scared of a particular dancer who seemed to know every.single.song.)

Overall, the festival was fun and good for a first year. We're hoping they have more food vendors next year (the lines were crazy long for the few they had). 

After that, we took Micah back to his dorm, as he had things to do. ;) The rest of us then wandered the Boulder Fall Fest along Pearl Street...got some ice cream and watched a street performer. We got dinner in Longmont at a favorite pizza place there, drove to Asher's dorm to pick up a couple things, and then headed home for the night. 

Sunday we took our minivan to get new tires installed, picked up grocery orders and then headed to Open Streets to see Asher and Karate West. Nathan and I walked all the vendors, watched Asher and the demo team perform a couple routines, and caught up a bit with other parents.

After that, we picked up our minivan then went home for a quiet afternoon of chores and football and catching up. 

While we were doing all that, Micah went to a CU Taekwondo club gathering Saturday night and then went climbing with the CU Alpine club on Sunday. These are the pictures he sent me...

Yup, Micah's enjoying CU and seems to be fully taking advantage of the college experience. :)

And that was our weekend.
