We woke up verrrry early this morning to head over to Red Rocks for a special Sunrise service. Later we learned we should’ve gotten up quite a bit earlier! Hahaa. We got stuck in crazy parking traffic, and ended up standing in the way back actually behind the amphitheater. I had a hard time believing how crazy packed it was that early in the morning!
We couldn’t hear all that well, but we definitely enjoyed the music and the sunrise part of the celebration.
To give you an idea of how far away we were, this is what we could see after the mass exodus when the sermon finished. People were trying to beat the crowds because they knew the traffic was going to be insane!
Can you see that itty bitty choir — wayyy down there? They could really belt it out though! We couldn’t see anything at all during the first 3/4 of the service.
It was about a .75 mile hike back to our car (yeah, you know I measured that!) so we got an extra mini workout in!
Kevin whipped up some omelets for our breakfast when we made it home around 8:30. And then, let’s be honest, we took a long nap!!
Sadly, I couldn’t wear my Easter outfit to the service (freezing… rough terrain), but you better believe I put it on ASAP when we got home. It’s the Afternoon Sunshine Lace dress from Ruche. It’s totally comfy, and I loved it for Easter!
I forced the boys into doing an Easter photo shoot with me while dinner was in the oven. Kevin’s so nice putting up with this annoying little habit of mine!
Collaborating with Boyd took a little extra bribery, but we got him in there. Blurry and all. That dog can’t still!! For such a lazy dog, you’d think he would be able to!
I’ll tell you about some of other fun weekend stuff later!! I have to go soak up my last minutes of the weekend with Kevin. I’m leaving for the DR on Wednesday so I’m trying to bank some quality time!! 
Have you ever gone to a sunrise service? Or Red Rocks? It was my first for both! I’ve been wanting to workout at Red Rocks, but I’m afraid of RATTLESNAKES. I shamelessly Googled it the other day and read about lots of encounters with snakes there.
Did you get a new Easter outfit? I hope you at least wore something in pastels. Haha. Sadly, I never got any bunny ears for Boyd.
I don’t celebrate Easter, but would TOTALLY go to this service at Red Rocks!! How beautiful!!! I can’t wait to get out there again NEXT MONTH!
Didn’t I tell you already that you are going straight “down under” for taking pictures in church?
Not God approved.
I’m planning a trip out this summer to see a concert! Looks gorgeous!
Wow that sunrise service looks absolutely incredible! Before I had my son, I would brave the darkness and go to the sunrise service at my church, but 5AM wakeup + toddler don’t really go together all that well. I didn’t get a new outfit for Easter, but I wore a dress that I had gotten for a friend’s wedding but didn’t end up wearing. Of course, I got zero pictures yesterday even though that was my number one mission because boyfriend, baby and I were all looking quite shnazzy. Oh well. I joked that I might make us all dress up in our outfits to take pictures, and I was only half kidding.
You guys are incredibly adorable. I love your family portraits!
I LOVE red rocks!! I’ve been there once for a DMB concert and it was amazing! The sunrise looks so beautiful!!
6 a.m. service? Whoa! I thought we were early with 8:00.

that looks beautiful! I went to a very sad and empty Easter service- so strange. Yes, I have been to Red Rocks- to see a John Mayer concert about 6 years ago. Lovely (and huge). Cute dress and pictures!
Wow, what a beautiful sunrise…that service looks PACKED!!! Wow! I bet it was amazing though!!
Your dress is adorable too!
no new outfit for easter for me this year because we didnt go anywhere! i did recently buy a pruple dress that I havent worn yet that would have been perfect though!
No new Easter outfit for ME, but you know Babycakes got a cute new dress. It was a silky/satiny pink with tulips on it… soooooooooo cute
Love the Easter dress!
This year, I wore the same dress I wore last year! I’ve also worn it to 2 weddings, & countless other occasions. I’m thinking it might be time to retire it soon!
Wow! That is packed..
I’ve never been to a sunrise service, but I woke up to one yesterday :p
Your dress looks cute :] I wore some orange….at least a spring color? hehe
I’ve done a few runs at Red Rocks and some mountain biking – I’m yet to see any rattle snakes. And if you run the stairs of the theater or take on the planter boxes I highly doubt you’ll see snakes – there are way too many people in that area for it, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see snakes out on the trails. I’m yet to run the stairs without seeing about 10+ other people working out there! You should do it!
That outdoor service looks amazing! What a great way to start off your Easter.
I’ve been to Red Rocks lots for concerts, but never this service. We were just talking about it yesterday with my Mom because she wants to do it one year. I don’t know if I could handle those crowds though.
