Girls Night Out!

So as a surprise, Bryan brought home some free tickets he got for the U gymnastics meet, so last night, amid the blizzard, Liah, Belen and I ventured out. He's so good to me :) It was a blast! We drove to the stadium and then took Trax to the Huntsman Center. We were crammed in like poorly packed sardines, but it made it more memorable. I was SO SO SO glad I brought Belen's sling! She was snug and warm and slept through the whole ride. The conductor was a bit behind schedule so she was hauling asparagus around those corners...Liah was a little fearful during the ride, but afterwards was ecstatic to learn we got to do it again on the way home :)

There were tons of people, apparently it was a record crowd for the Red Rocks. It was so fun to watch Liah take it all in. She didn't really get the point of the cheerleaders getting people to yell, but by the time we left, she was clapping along, and gave a little hip shimmy when they did the dancing cam thing. She's so cute :) We lasted for a little over an hour, but by then Belen had had it, so we headed for home. Probably a good idea since our return train ride afforded us actual seats. It was a little anti-climatic after our first train experience :) After returning home and watching the news, we found out that the U beat Georgia, so even better news!

She talked and talked the whole evening. As of tonight, she wants to be a professional gymnast, until she has kids. THEN she wants to be a ballet teacher. We bought sour patch kids, but she wouldn't eat them until we got in the van because she was afraid she would eat them all, and she had promised her brothers she would bring them a souvenir. I love a girl with self-control :) I loved being with just the girls, it makes me so excited for when they are teenagers (hopefully they'll still want to hang out with boring old mom by then hahaha).
