Ramirez Invasion!

On May 1, my favorite San Antonio family came to visit me in Denver - Jen, James, and Jameson Ramirez! Jen had visited me in Denver a couple years ago, but James had never been to Colorado, and boy was he enthusiastic!

After picking them up from the airport, we ate at Hacienda Colorado. I was a bit worried about taking these Texans to a Mexican restaurant considering all the fantastic Mexican food they're used to ... but they liked it!

After eating, we headed back to my house. Jameson was crazy about my cat, Magnolia. Much to my surprise, Magnolia was really curious about the little person who had invaded her home and kept coming out to sniff him. Once she tired of Jameson, Magnolia hid under the bed. Here's Jameson pointing at the bed and trying to find her.
The next morning, Jen cooked ME breakfast - what a great guest! Jameson posed a bit while she cooked.He didn't feel like eating, but he did enjoy playing with my utinsels... The burgeoning friendship between Jameson and Magnolia continued throughout the morning...After getting ready for the day, we headed toward Golden for the Coors Brewery tour. Never one to pass up 3 free drinks, Amy and her phantom baby met us there. Jameson made friends while we waited in line...
After the tour, he tried to sneak past his mom into the employee area...
But Jen's too fast for ol' Jameson.
After the tour, the Ramirezes, Amy, and me headed to Estes Park. Jen had booked us a cabin for 2 nights, and it was so cute!I slept in the loft overlooking the living room. Here we are looking out of our little loft...
Amy and Jen thought it was pretty funny when I changed into my "pajama socks"... doesn't everyone change socks at bedtime?? Here I am modeling the difference between my everyday Pedro socks and my dog-in-sweaters pajama socks.
We played Jen's card game, Phase 10, up in the loft. As she read the directions I was pretty sure I'd never figure the game out... but it ended up being really fun! And isn't the wine colored shag carpet classy?
Our fun night was topped off when it started to snow! One particular San Antonio girl was so excited that she ran out onto the deck and caught a couple snowflakes on her tongue.
Stay tuned for the rest of our weekend....

Great work on the blog Lindsay! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I had already experienced it firsthand.
