New years day has taken on a whole new meaning for us since 2008. Rohan joined us 01-01-08 at 1:46 pm. He has been our light ever since. This morning we celebrated his day with a birthday cinnamon bun complete with candles to blow out. He got a couple small gifts from us. And G-dean came over with some new cool dinosaur fridge magnets (we used to have a bunch, but Tabby chewed them all) so this gift was perfect for the boys. As T-Bria and I enjoyed some coffee, the topic of Casa Bonits came up, she has been BEGGING to take them, and i have been against it, remembering it to be bad food, and a bad experience, but she was able to convince me, and we decided we would take Rohan for his 3rd birthday.
NOW........for anyone that lives in or has ever lived in Colorado, you know this place. It's been around forever!! (since 1974 as a matter of fact) so most people that live here have been there, and pretty much any one that visits wants to go there. Casa Bonita is every bit as you remember, only smaller. As a child, it all seems so amazing, the cliff divers, the shoot out, black bart's cave, the winding crazy never know where you'll come out caves. The magic is still there, don't get me wrong. From the familiar smell, to the fact they haven't changed anything in the last 14 years, the magic of a memory comes back to you. We took the boys tonight, and even in the chaos that is that restaurant, i had a great time watching the boys, they had fun, and enjoyed the action. The food was actually good, which we were worried about (Casa Bonita is NOT known for the food). The decor is still the same, the acts are still the same. It was fun to see the boys see something as i did as a child. Everything around us is so quick to move on to the bigger better things, it was nice to see they have stayed the same. It was a great day and evening out.
So Happy Birthday Baby bug. I hope we helped make some memories tonight that you can share with your kids. We love you with all our hearts.
