Rockies, Broncos and Broken Glass

Happy Birthday Sherman Peter! For his birthday we went to Denver to attend a Rockies game and visit with Scott and Jen. We went over Friday afternoon and went to the Rockies vs. Dodgers game that night (rockies lost). With us were Scott, Jen, Savannah and Sydney, Susan and Steve and Stevie. Despite the forecast for rain, it did not and we had a great time!!!

The boys were really good! Even though the people in front of us were not impressed. They left the game in the 3rd inning. If you don't like kids don't go to a ball park, the chances are good there will be kids there.

Thanks, Susan and Steve for the tickets!

Saturday the Big Boys went golfing. Then the Girls went to lunch without the kids. It was nice to spend time together without being hung on. The boys and I headed home then and Sherman stayed for another Rockies game and a Broncos game. He should feel a little spoiled by now but he's worth it and deserves it for all his hard work. He'll be home today.

While Sherman was not home, last night, we had a big scare. Thankfully no one was hurt. We had all just gotten in bed. There was a huge banging, crashing and glass breaking noise. It was so loud I thought someone had fallen through the roof or crashed into the house. Upon investigation this is what I found, besides wide-eyed boys.

This is the mirror that had been on the wall in the boys' bathroom. Without any warning sign or explanation it just fell off and shattered into pieces, which covered the bathroom and all the way out into the hallway. Thank goodness the boys had not been in there when it happened! Even the broken pieces were heavy. I still can't find any reason for it falling, very weird. All though it did not have any additional support to keep it on the wall, like those little mounting brackets that you may sometimes see. I will be checking the other mirrors in the house and putting brackets on them. You may want to too. This could have been very bad. You would not believe how heavy they are.
