Meeting Dodgens in Denver...Twice!

Siblings Brandon, Taylor and Neely Dodgen were out in Colorado for an unexpected visit at the beginning of January. Sadly, their uncle who lived in Salida passed away unexpectedly and they flew out for the funeral. We of course were happy to see the three of them since they were making the trip anyway. We met them on Wednesday night on the 13th after they arrived in Denver. We were going to go out to eat to Casa Bonita but Taylor & Neely's flights arrived late so instead we ate at the Macaroni Grill which was a lot closer. But not without first stopping at Target to get a tie for Brandon!

We were able to meet them again in Denver on Saturday before they flew back home. This time we had time for Casa Bonita!

If you have never heard of this place and are ever in Denver...you need to visit! It is a Mexican restaurant. But people do not go for the food, they go for the entertainment. They have several mini-plays being performed throughout your meal...complete with cliff divers! Here's where we picked up our food.

And here is one of the performances.

Having a good time!

The boys by Black Bart's Cave! Taylor successfully scared Neely AND I in here. Although he said Neely just screamed without him doing a thing...whereas he jumped out at me.

Last show for us.

We also went to the arcade. A shot to prove to Matt that I did indeed beat his score at Skeeball!

I wrote last night but don't know what happened to it. I wrote that I love your hat Sonya!! and that you are a very good looking chick.

Also, how good looking the Dodgen guys are, don't you agree Nicole and Courtney?

We have eaten at this Casa Bonita resturant years ago when we took a trip with Jerry and Debbie out West. I don't know if Deb remembers it or not. We were in Denver to visit friends.

Thanks Grandma. You are very kind. And yes, the Dodgen boys are nice looking too...but Taylor is already taken! He is getting married in March I think.

It's a fun restaurant, isn't it?
