Wow, have we been busy the past month...and it's not done yet! We spent the weekend in Granby, CO with Lisa and Andrew and Chi. Granby is about 20 minutes past Winter Park, which is a beautiful drive from Denver over Berthoud Pass. There is still quite a bit of snow on the pass, and we saw a few people back country skiing in shorts on the drive home yesterday. So weird to see people skiing in June...not to mention in shorts!
The weekend was pretty relaxing- we did some hiking to the top of a ski mountain just outside the condo. The hike was short, but steep and definitely left us winded, but the views from the top were amazing- definitely worth it! Chi loves being up there. She has endless energy running up and down the mountain, and then she is calm and relaxed for the rest of the day. I had to laugh at the fact that she could manage to find the one mud puddle on the mountain and roll around in it.

We spent Saturday afternoon in Grand Lake, sitting by the lake and enjoying some beer and wine while asking ridiculously funny questions. Some examples:
"Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible for a year?"
"Would you rather be a rock star or a movie star?"
"Would you rather have $25 million and live to the age of 50 or die at 85 but only make $30,000 a year?"
"If aliens suddenly offered to take you to outer space for a year, but you couldn't talk to anyone on earth the whole time, and you are not going to be part of some weird science experiment, would you go?"
We ended the afternoon doing some go-karting. Well, rather, everyone else go-karted. I opted to sit out and take pictures. I got some really good ones, too, so worth the sacrifice!
Saturday night we went to The Devil's Thumb restaurant for drinks and appetizers. Lisa and Andrew were engaged there last year, so it was cool to get to see where everything went down. It is such a neat restaurant. Lots of organic and free range food and awesome views. We even saw a moose walk through the horse stables and hop over a fence to get to the woods. I couldn't believe how he could hop the fence with zero effort. Cool animals. And big. Very, very big.
We headed back to Denver early yesterday afternoon and actually got to enjoy being home! And alone, too! I can't really remember the last time we've had a lazy Sunday afternoon. We watched Tiger tie Rocco Mediate to go to a playoff for the US Open, then watched the Lakers squeak out a win over the Celtics to stay alive. We also watched a terrible movie, The Eye. I don't recommend it.
Next stop on the crazy train- Vegas, baby! We leave Thursday night!
