- after a pretty toasty flight in from DFW, we were rewarded by a car rental up-grade to a flashy little suv (at this point we weren't considering gas mileage--just happy to be in a roomier vehicle!)
- we spend the first night w/ the Yocum boys (as Melissa was away at a dad/daughter camp-out) and they introduced us to some delicious pizza as big as the table we were sitting at! oh, and i heart cannoli's: big thick, creamy, choco chippy goodness ---can i get a amen, clay?
- they following day we hit some amazing sales:
josh=jos a banks for a new spiffy suit
kelly= norstrom's rack, anthropology, the broadway shoe store, etc! - on sunday we attended Solid Life church w/ the Yocum's and were able to enjoy worship and fellowship with Melissa' family--so good to hug their necks! the church is a small offshoot of a larger church in town, but has a dynamic worship service and is rapidly growing--so neat to find bro's and sis's in Christ everywhere!
- we stuck w/ our "not anywhere we have in waco" restaurant rule and we hit the jackpot! we ate incredible food from gnocchi, fish tacos, mango talapia, buffalo burgers, lime chips and guac + more amazing (mostly chocolate) desserts --oh, denver is like food heaven!!!!!!!!!!
- we attempted to visit the aqaruim in downtown one evening, but ended up shopping at the 16th street mall and eating--are you sensing a theme here?
- melissa and cary were gracious hosts and we throughly enjoyed every minute of our visit w/ them. carson was SUCH a good baby---josh and i had fun playing with him all week. his personality is hilarious, from haming it up for the cameras and making a cute snorting noise when you ask, "what does a piggy make?" i died laughing every time!
- we dropped carson off at his 'bella and poppi's' house and went to see You, Me and Dupree--quite funny! I did feel bad for the newlyweds however, but you will just have to see the movie to see how it turns out! owen wilson is CRAZY, but endearing as always!
- we did make it to the denver zoo, however, and that was hysterical and i will have to refer you to melissa's blog for an update on that adventure: www.yocumfamily.blogspot.com
- after lunch at a local dig on Thursday we headed out to Estes Park for Summers wedding. and there are adventure will continue...

Hi babydoll,
Cute blog! My we haven't talked in awhile, didn't know that the yocums are expecting, and that Nic lost her pugs! Glad all worked out inthe end! Imagine being sold on the black market!! Can't wait to have some time with you next week for semiar. We've got lots of learning,celebrating, and planing to do for MK. Have a safe trip home, and CALL your mother
love, mom
speaking of toasty, i do believe that the AC in the guestroom is not fully functional!!! add to that the fact that your computer is the slowest one known to man, and i'd say it's a miracle that you're getting a comment at all! anywho, it sounds like y'all had a lot of fun (and did a lot of shopping---i have to admit, i was kind of jealous!!!)...maybe sometime, i'll get to come to denver with y'all...can't even imagine weather under 80 degrees---what am i saying! i can't imagine weather under 100 degrees!!! yeah, the high here in waco today was around 102...insane!!! fyi, i heart cannoli as well...not sure why i didn't make the list---don't worry, you can bring me a cannoli and i'll forgive you! hope you crazy kids have fun at summers' wedding...tell paige i said, "hi." p.s. your dogs miss you...they haven't pulled any crazy stunts like frank and beans (the running away part, i mean---it's not like they could help being sold on the black market!!!), but they act like they haven't seen people in days EVERY time i come home...even if it's only been a few hours...oh, well---you can give them lots of lovin' on sunday!
We really did have so much fun, didn't we??!! :) We miss you guys already and can't wait to see you again! :) Oh! I still want the picture of you and me, so email it to me when you get a chance, k? :)
Oh, can you tell Erin that I responded to her comment in my comments on the zoo thing because I didn't know how else to respond :) Thanks so much!
Have so much fun at the wedding, and I hope you guys are LOVING Estes!!! :)
How the heck did I not know you made a blog? I guess it's only a few days old, so that's forgivable. Hope to see you sometime before Welcome Week.
I'm so glad you're blogging!! Looks like this will be a very entertaining blog! I went to Colorado in the summers in high school for mission trips, and I loved it. You don't have to go in the winter to experience the beauty!
Kelly!! Yeah, a new blog for my reading pleasure. I am so jealous that you got to see the Yocums and that sweet Carson! We miss those guys! You take care and I'll enjoy reading your posts :)
