Fort Collins Staycations with Best Friends

Published on by Cheryl LockLeave a comment

Happy Friday, friends! I’m way late to this post because honestly … life. Phew.

But I’m here now to share a bit about our fabulous Fort Collins staycation from last weekend. While Chris was off snowboarding for a couple days with a friend at Copper and A-Basin, the girls and I used it as an excuse to catch up with my best friend from high school — Auntie Moe. We hadn’t seen her since Thanksgiving (!), and hadn’t been to her place in even longer, so a girls’ weekend was way overdue.

We love our Auntie Moe so much, and she planned the sweetest time for us all, including birthday and Christmas presents (no visit with Auntie Moe is ever complete without presents. She spoils us.), a trip to the very cool Twin Silo Park, dinner at Totally 80’s Pizza, ice cream sundaes and a Trolls movie viewing, then a pancake breakfast before we headed home Sunday morning.

If you must pull single-parent duty for a weekend, recruit a bestie to do it with you, I say 😉

Emilia spent pretty much the entire time at the playground right here, being pushed by Auntie Moe <3
I’m not going to lie, this playground intimidated me at first. There are lots of things for kids to do that require them being out of your eyesight. The girls had THE BEST time, though, and once we were there for a while and I realized they could handle it, I came to enjoy it as much as they did <3 I mean, look at that joy!
Such intrepid explorers!
Lotte has been working on her monkey bars, and it’s really paying off!
We love ya lots, Auntie Moe. Sure are lucky to have you in our lives.
Next up was Totally 80’s Pizza, which was such a trip! There was SO MUCH 80’s memorabilia and they played 80’s music and hi, I could live here!
Moe’s sister, sister’s partner and nephew all met us for dinner. It’s always so much fun to see this crew and watch the kids hang and bond.
I meannnnn … does it get any cuter?!
Any time ice cream is involved, we’re on-board.

We’re sure glad Chris had fun on his snowboard trip …

But we’re also super glad we got to use it as an excuse for a ladies’ weekend full o’ fun.

Bis bald, friends! Next up … our Great Grand Canyon Spring Break Road Trip, taking place the week after next! See ya soon!
