Adventure: Bonnie Brae

Jeremiah and I decided to go on a day adventure over to the Bonnie Brae neighborhood in Denver. Bonnie Brae is Gaelic for "Pleasant Hill". I originally thought the neighborhood was named after some pioneer woman, but it turns out it's not!

The touristy part of the neighborhood is one short block, but it boasts an adorable ice cream parlor, a quaint gift shop, and a great coffee shop to hang out at.

The ice cream parlor was the first place Jeremiah and I went to, and in case you're wondering, it is fittingly named Bonnie Brae Ice Cream. We had to park around the block, this place is so busy!

It was a super nice day today in Denver, at 70 degrees, we decided to sit on the bench outside and enjoy our cones. Jeremy got chocolate with cappuccino crunch, and I got chocolate with coffee.

After we finished our ice cream, we headed over to this gift shop called Wish Gifts, which was right across the street. It's a super cute store and I highly recommend it for gift shopping. We ended up buying a birthday present for Jeremy's youngest brother, Joshua, and we bought ourselves a new coin bank that looks like a globe.

We walked down the rest of the block, crossed back over to the other side of the street, and went to this coffee shop called Ink!. 

The coffee shop was awesome. Not only was the coffee excellent, but they had giant Jenga out on the patio, along with corn hole!

Jeremy and I played a game of Jenga, and we did pretty well considering the blocks were a bit wobbly. The top half was like a leaning tower for a good while, but eventually evened out as we kept removing more blocks. In the picture to the left, you can see the stack with several missing blocks.

After we played Jenga, we played several rounds of corn hole. I greatly improved my tossing skills today thanks to Jeremy's coaching, and actually shot the bean bag into the hole at least five times. I don't think I've ever scored in corn hole before today.

After the coffee shop, there wasn't much else to do, so we went for a drive. Jeremy ended up showing me the first home he lived in as a child, his first elementary school, day care, and childhood friends' houses.

After we got home, we let the bunnies out on the porch since the weather was so beautiful. It was Midna's very first day out on the porch! She's the little black bunny :). As you can see in the pictures below, she's about half of the size of Tetra. After I had them settled outside with their water and food, it was time for me to give the Golden Girls a bath while Jeremy swept up the condo.

You can just see the anticipation in Sequoia's face.

The Golden Girls each got shampooed and rinsed off. I let Sequoia out of the tub first, and had to hold her in a wrestling position to rub her dry with a beach towel. Autumn, of course, was much more calm and let me dry her off. Of course, I couldn't get them completely dry, so they went to hang out with their bunny sisters on the porch.

All the girls are back inside now that it is dark, and they are all tuckered out. It was a great day!
