Man mountains

Hello,

So this has taken me a few days to post because I am in the weeds with work, but needed a mental break, so I will post this right quick. I spent last week in Colorado, and brought Erin with me. We originally went to see a couple Rockies games, spend Easter with my family, attend a servant event planning meeting at my church, and get some music equipment donated. Never did make it back with any music equipment, and the trip was extended a couple days due to the fire at the mission, and the 16 inches of snow on the day we planned to leave. We did make it back safe and sound though, just a little later than planned.

We filled our days with lot's of touristy type stuff. I took Erin to a few Colorado original restaurants, and 2 that actually started in Colorado (Chipotle, and Noodles and Company.) We saw 2 Rockies games, went to the Coors Brewery, the mountains, red rocks amphitheater, museum of nature and science, and the art museum. I actually liked the art museum more than I thought I would, and would have liked it even more if not for this stupid, big, half of a floor taking up, everything red except the gray foxes, no purpose having, don't even know why it would be there, let alone take up half of a floor, restaurant.

I did like seeing some paintings by famous artists though. Like Monet and Picasso. It makes me wonder where the security was though, because the paintings were just chilling out there, and online, similar paintings have sold anywhere from 40-88 million dollars. My most favorite thing by far was this creepy lady in a box. It was like a doll, laying in a trunk, with a video of some real lady talking and kind of freaking out. We took about a minute of video and it is posted below. Erin and Mom thought it was creepy, but I thought it was cool.

I hope everyone is doing well, I have to get back to my to do list. Have a great weekend and enjoy the Spring.

Cherry Creek Reservoir, near my parents house. A good place to walk.

The Field

Erin in the purple seats. This row is exactly one mile above sea level.

My sister's seats for Saturday game. We moved down there after the third inning.

Our seats for Easter Sunday game. The weather sucked and the Rockies bullpen blew it, but it was still fun to be with friends and family.

We ate at White Fence Farm. Great fried chicken. They had a petting zoo, and Erin fed this big bull named Tank. He was huge and followed her around after she fed him thinking she may have some more food for him.

Baby goat at the petting zoo. Watch out for the landmine though :)


Went to the mountains one day. Still an awful lot of snow up there.

Waterfall and water wheel in Idaho Springs, the waterfall is cool because it is still half frozen.

Erin at the Continental Divide. Her left foot is on the Atlantic side.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Constantly voted best place for an outdoor concert by bands that play there.

Row 55 at red rocks was declared as the place with best view of the Denver skyline. This picture is from row 55. What do you think?

Coors brewery. That is a lot of Lutheran Lemonade

16ish inches of snow held us over a couple more days.

This is the video of the creepy lady at the art museum.

  1. Thanks for bringing me to Colorado...I had a great time enjoying God's beautiful creation with you! So you liked the red restaurant, huh? And how do you not think that thing is creepy? Especially because in the video you can't even see the suitcase!
