things to do denver boulder arvada: Film on the Rocks at Red Rocks Amphitheater 2012
- 06/29/12 12:19 AM
One of my favorite summer activities around here, is attending a Film on the Rocks at our awesomely gorgeous natural amphitheater, Red Rocks. (I know - such a plain and simple name for this incredible geologic feature.)
I've already missed The Notebook, one of my favorite films. But really, with the atmosphere and all, I think a funny film is a better choice anyway. Last year, my family and I saw Ghostbusters at Film on the Rocks.
Oh, and there's always a live band too. They play before the film. Last year we hear Opie Gone Bad - a local favorite.

- 06/28/12 12:36 AM
There are lots of summer concerts around here (the beautiful Denver to Boulder country), but for some reason the Flatirons Mall Summer Concert Series draws the people who want to get up and dance in the heat of a summer evening.
So, if you want to get your boogie on (or if you want to get entertained by other people doing so!) come out on a Thursday evening and join the folks under the stars at Flatirons Mall.
Concerts start at 6 and go until 9.

- 06/16/12 03:04 AM
I've never tried yoga, though I've wanted to for awhile. Now, I think I've found the perfect introductory opportunity. Saturday morning yoga in Arvada's Majestic View Park.
It's an interesting story how I came to meet Shanti of Shanti Home. My family and I were hanging out in Olde Town Arvada on a recent Saturday afternoon. One thing I love about Olde Town Arvada business owners, is they are all so friendly and so supportive of each other. Visiting a few favorite spots feels like dropping in on an actual community.
This day was no different.
We started out at Scrumptious, getting some hand-made ice cream. One … (3 comments)
