End of Summer update

So it's been over 2 months since my last post and a lot has happened since then. First of all, we went on vacation to Denver, CO with our good friends Jordan & Annalissa Stoddard. It was a lot of fun! We were able to go to a Rockies game, the Denver Zoo, see the Red Rock Ampitheatre, tour a mine, go to a comedy club, the guys went golfing and the girls went shopping and we also ate a ton of good food - including The Cherry Cricket burger which we saw on Food Network right before we left Idaho. Over all it was a pretty amazing vacation; it's always fun to visit a place you've never been before. We decided to get a rental car so we could drive around without having to worry about paying for a taxi. Much to Mike's surprise we were given his "dream car". A Subaru Impreza. It is actually a really nice car and we had a lot of fun driving around. I was more greatful for our GPS system than I was for it in LA last summer! Overall I think we all had a ton of fun but we were definitely grateful to be home again after 6 days days away. Here are a few photos of our vacay:

 Mike eating a pretty amazing Rockies Dog at the baseball game. It's a footlong beef dog with sauerkraut, and grilled onions and peppers. Everytime we go to a new stadium we have to try their signature hot dog and I have to say this one gives the Seattle Mariners a run for their money! :)

 We had pretty amazingly awesome seats for the Sunday afternoon game. We were sitting in the Wells Fargo concourse which is all airconditioned and has some exclusive gourmet foods served in it. It was a really good game and we stayed into extra innings because it was just that good! :)

 Mike with his menu at The Cherry Cricket, a burger joint in Denver that we saw on The Food Network before we left Idaho.

 Mike & I at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre.

 This deer was at the ampitheatre just grazing. He must have been accustomed to humans because he let get really close. It was pretty cool. :)

 The View from the top of the ampitheatre. It is a really cool place that holds all kinds of concerts and plays. It is carved right out of the natural red rocks and it's so huge it seats 10,000 people! While we were there we got to watch them set up for a Rush concert so that was pretty neat.

 Just Mike chillin on the edge of a cliff after our picinic lunch....

 Our sexy hard hats! We were just about to go into the Phoenix mine for our tour. It was actually a pretty cool thing. Now I can say I have been in a mine...so totally worth it. :)

 Mike is really sunburned after a day on the golf course.I of course am not burned since I spent the entire day shopping... :)

 This Lion was at the Denver Zoo. It was over 100 degrees the day we went to the zoo so I'm sure the Lion was just trying to cool off but it made me laugh because our dog Maizy sleeps just like this! :)

 Exhausted Jordan & Annalissa ready to go home. :)

 Our trustworthy rental car. It was so sad to have to say goodbye. :(

 Annalissa & I at the comedy club we went to in downtown. I decided I love comedy clubs and I want to go again!

 The clouds were crazy cool on the flight home. It was like we were flying over Heaven.

 Mikey is exhausted on the flight home. :)

I don't really have any pictures of anything cool that has happened since then except for my good friend Kacey's 24th birthday! We went and got pedicures together (which I neglected to photograph) during the day, then Mike & I went to Kacey & Jason's house for a homemade dinner of Shrimp & Chicken pasta. We played tons of games and lit up a ramekin of Creme Brulee with 24 candles for Kacey to blow out and then ended the night with a dip in the hot tub. I had tons of fun and I hope Kacey had a good birthday! I love hanging out with those guys! :)
