VISITORS!

So we didn't have a whole lot of visitors when we lived in PA, but since we have moved to CO visitors have been flocking to pass out on our undersized papason cushion in our little apartment. I'd like to think all of these fabulous visitors just love us so much - but I think the Rocky Mountains might have something to do with the surge in guests.

We already posted about Brendan's visit in January- but we have had subsequent visits from Chris (Sean's brother), Carol (Sarah's mom) and Keith (Sarah's brother) all spaced out through the last few months. FUN!

First was Chris in Feb. Sean was able to take a big chunk of time off of work and head to the mountains for some snowboarding with Chris. Even more fun- we headed up to Breckenridge with a couple of Chris' buddies from college who we have become good friends with since we moved to Colorado.


Brothers!



The Guys


The Ladies

Carol cmame to visit the week of her birthday in March. We had a blast! We went to the new exhibit at the Denver Art Museum featuring concert posters from San Francisco in 1965-1971. We went on opening day and it was packed- it was a very hands on and informative presentation.



We also checked out a few of the regular exhibits at the museum. We checked out some delicious plase to eat- but we definitely had more success and more fun cooking at home. I also took her by my office so that she could meet the staff and see first hand some of the work that we do.

Keith came to visit last week and he got a full Denver experience! The 16th street mall, Opening Day for the Rockies (against the Phillies!), Rocky Mountain National Park and Red Rocks were all highlights of the week. Now, he and Sean didn't get tickets to Opening Day like they had planned and tried to do, but it was still an EVENT in Denver. Every bar in the city was packed- I think it helped that many people had off for Good Friday because the game was in the middle of the afternoon. Phillies lost that game but came back to win the series. The highlight for Sean and I was the hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. from Glacier Gorge Trailhead we hiked 5 miles checking out Nymph Lake, Bear Lake, Dream Lake and Alberta Falls. All of these were covered in snow, though, and not super spectacular to look at. I can't wait to go in the summer to see how beautiful these lakes can be when you actually see them! Still, hiking in snow is beautiful. Keith was a trooper and dealt with the snow the whole time no complaints.






After our hike we returned to a delicious Easer dinner thanks to HoneyBaked Ham and Mom and Dad! A fabulous surprise in the mail, the HH Easter Dinner with all the fixings was able to feed the three of us as well as a handful of our friends. It made being away from our families on a special holiday just a little bit easier. On Sunday we went to a sunrise Easter Service at Red Rocks. It wasn't a beautiful day, but the service was fabulous nonetheless. This was the 62nd Easter service done at Red Rocks!









We have one more confirmed visitor for June...but we hope you will come have some of this fun with us!
