NBA All Star Jam, DU Hockey and Tubing at Copper
This weekend was another action-packed one. On Saturday, we went to the NBA All Star Jam at the Convention Center in downtown Denver. I expected some sort of practice session with the All Stars, but it was just a carnival-like event for grade-school age basketball fans and players. We went with "Uncle Justin" and had a great time riding the light rail down and playing with basketballs at the event. Saturday night, we went to the DU Hockey game and got to witness our first loss of the season. It was a bad game, but I think the Pioneers needed it to get their heads straight for the playoffs in two weeks.
Today, Abbie and I headed up to Copper to do some tubing. The drive up was great - no traffic and Abbie slept the whole way. We rode up the lift together and hopped on the tube for our first ride down. It was wicked fast, and I thought we were in over our heads for a minute. Abbie got scared and cold and that first run was our last. I put on her hat and gloves (she didn't want them before we started the run) and we marched back to the car. The drive back was traffic-less and Abbie kept me entertained with all her mountain-driving observations. I'm going to try to get back in the habit of taking pictures when we do this fun stuff.
