Mountains, Love and Laughter

At the end of June, 6 of us piled in a van and made the 9 hour drive to Denver Colorado! We were going out for a friends wedding and decided to make a little vacation out of it! We traveled with our friends Lonnie and Patti and then two MNU students, Gordie and Chris. We packed a lot into 3 days but well worth it. It was a crazy trip with a lot of laughs! Here we go!

First to fall asleep!

We were able to get tickets to a Rockies game. We had great seats and the weather was really nice. The Rockies won in extra innings!

Best nacho's ever

I had to have my picture with this man. His mustache was amazing!

Friday, Jordan took off work to show us around Denver. Our first stop...Red Rocks!

Our sons!

Such a beautiful view

Our next stop was to the fire house where Jordan's dad works. We got a tour of the fire house and a lesson on the fire truck and the equiptment they use. We all tried on Jim's fire suit. Needless to say it was too big!

This is Brent in Jim's fire suit

THis is me in it!

Jim and the other fire men like to pull pranks. This one involves a bar they go to a lot. This sasquatch has Jim's face on it! This is hanging out front of the bar for all of downtown Denver to see!!

When we got back, Jordan took the boys off roading in his jeep around their property.

Then the best part! We went shooting! I had only shot a gun once in my life so I was pretty excited and pretty scared. I loved it and want to own a gun now. Plus, Im not a bad shot!

I am obsessed with the Olympics so on Saturday before the wedding Jordan, Gordie, Brent and I went to the Olympic Training Center.

Our reason to go out to Co was to attend the wedding of one of Brent's RA's from last year. This is the beautiful couple Kevin and Ashley. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great reception!

Have to have a "U" picture

The wedding was in Colorado Springs and we were expecting to see a lot of smoke from the fires. We didn't see a whole lot. Here is a picture with a little smoke coming up from behind the mountains.

Fun at the gas station! We made SEVERAL stops!
