Summer 2011 Denver, CO

This summer turned out better than last summer in Arizona. First off, it wasn't 110 degree weather all the time. Second, i felt a little more at ease being by my self most of the day while Brett sold pest control, and Lastly, Denver is almost like Utah, so i wasn't so much out of my element! We have been living in Westminster, CO for the past 3 1/2 months and it's about time to come home, and jump right back into school! EcoFirst Denver has two offices, the West and East team. Brett is the team leader of the West team. But here are some of the cool places we have visited here in Denver.

The first weekend we had dinner at a sushi bar called Go Fish. Here is what Brett and I shared. FYI, i personally do not like sushi, Brett is starting to like it!


It was over all pretty good, and interesting!

Next weekend we went to Beau Jo's Pizza to meet the rest of the West team and the East team . It was excellent pizza and would recommend it to anyone!

We really enjoyed the time we have had with each person!

This is Brett, Jordan and Tyson

While I was in utah enjoying the Ragnar, Brett got to go to a shrimp restaurant with the team, it was called Bubba Gumps.
And Here is his plate, he loves taking pictures of his amazing plates.


Another adventure we had was bowling at Fat Cats, that was really fun!
Here is Jordan and Kelsey Blasdell!And the whole group!

Every Friday, sometimes Thursday night we would go to this indoor volleyball court that was open until 2 in the morning! It was perfect because they don't get home until 10, so we had plenty of time to play and have fun! Here's what it looked like:
We finally got to go to the temple and take some pictures of it. It's about 40 mins. from where we live so it made it difficult to go, but we were sure glad we got to. It was in a neighborhood, so it was hidden, but once you come to it, it sticks out like the sun. It's a small temple but very beautiful. Here are some pictures we took when we were there.


Here is the back of the temple, It was a perfect place to take wedding pictures!
The flowers were so bright and colorful!
Don't worry almost done! lol a couple of weeks ago we got to go to Elitch Gardens, which is the Lagoon of Denver. We got to go after work on Saturday about 4 and started out at the water park.

Here is the theme parks rides
We are waiting in line for this ride, AHH!!!The Half Pipe! It was a skateboard that would go up and down, and then the seats would also twist, a lot of twisting!!
This ride was crazy, i didn't go on it, but Brett did. It was called Boomerang, it shot your forward and then backwards the same way, with a loop mixed in!
It was going so fast that this is all my camera would pick up as they flew by. I think it's a pretty awesome picture!

It was really fun and a cool theme park!
Brett and i also got to babysit Charlie, Jordan and Kelsey's new dog for a weekend. It's a puppy still so we had to watch his every move, but a very adorable dog!
Last but not least, of course since Brett sells pest control so he finds lot of interesting bugs and spiders! CAUTION!!
These are ants if you couldn't tell, a whole lot of them! A bat on someones house!
Well if that didn't gross you out enough! Brett and I have had a great summer here in Denver, but are so excited to leave this week to Utah!! We sure have missed our families and friends! Here we come UTAH!!!
