Denver, CO
We had the chance to go to Denver last weekend for a friends wedding. We had the added bonus of seeing a lot of our friends from Boston and it was so much fun! We were at the temple when the married couple came out, we went to Cafe Rio with everyone and then gathered again at the reception that night.
Mike and Kristy Reintjes, Happily married!

We got to meet up with them a second time and go to lunch at Cracker Barrel. We haven't seen them forever so it was great to catch up and hang out with them again.
Laura (and expected baby). Jason was off doing something awesome so we had to take the picture without him.

Colorado Springs, CO
The next day we went to Colorado Springs to meet up with our friends, Brandon and Arianne. They were kind enough to escort us to a beautiful park called the Garden of the Gods. We got there just at dusk and it made for some very pretty scenery. We walked around in the 50 degree weather and enjoyed the view. Then we went to their house for dinner, talking and some wicked fun games (Moods and Five Crowns). Thank you Brandon and Arianne, we had so much fun!!

Boulder, CO
We wanted to go to the Celestial Seasonings (they manufacture teas) Factory but they told us that children cannot go inside because it will damage their ear drums. Makes you wonder what they do in there... Anyway, instead we just made the drive to Boulder and went to a little sandwhich joint, The Dish, on Pearl St.

Our final activities in Denver included the Downtown Aquarium and a walk up the 16th St. Mall. The aquarium was amazing and I took so many pictures, but I'll spare you all the misery. We saw so many different kinds of sea creatures. Mean sharks, fatbellied seahorses, eels, stingrays, etc...
Sam by the trout case. Maybe when he grows up he will enjoy catching these

One of our favorite things at the aquarium was this Flash Flood display, it was so cool.
On our way from the Aquarium to the 16th St. mall, this fish jumped right out of the cobblestone and tried to eat me whole

We loved Denver and all of its surrounding areas and maybe we'll go back
