Denver Denver Denver

So after a crazy two weeks of packing we finally went on the road for 2 days and made it here to Denver :). The halfway point night we stayed in a little po dunk town called Dumas, TX and had fun visiting the two story McDonalds (the nicest restaurant in town), and swimming at the hotel. The swimming towels were perfect size for Mckay :).

The first weekend here Wes had Labor Day off and so we decided to take a day trip down to Colorado Springs to walk through the Garden of the Gods. It was so beautiful! I had no idea Colorado had so much red rock. Mckay especially had lots of fun crawling on the rocks with his Daddy.

I'm doing the kissy face because at the very top of the rock, there is what they call the kissing camels :). Can you see it? It's actually a little better view from the picture of Wes and Mckay above.

So about a 20 minute drive from Garden of the Gods is a little town called Woodland Park, 8,000 ft. up into the mountains where Wes lived for the first 4 years of his life, and we decided to go find his old house...thats it with him down below.  It's a beautiful area as you can see... the second picture was taken right after we turned off his old street. I love seeing the mountains again!

The Edge owners also took Wes to a Broncos game. He had a really good time, but admitted that he liked BYU home games better still :).  The Mile High Stadium is crazy big and pretty darn sweet! He has been officially initiated into the Denver culture :). 

I just thought this picture was cute :). We spend a few nights a week strolling around the Southlands mall where these fun umbrellas are.

Finally, yesterday after Wes got home from work we went down to the park on mainstreet in Parker (the city where our rental house is) to attend Oktoberfest! I got some cute handmade earrings and we picked up a lemonade from the crazy Lemonade Man Stand. The guy was very quirky but it was the best lemonade I've ever had!! 

That is the update on all the fun stuff we have been up to lately. We have been living in an free apartment for the last 2 weeks until Edge's lease ran out, and now we are in a hotel room until we can get into our house. We are renting a 3 bedroom house down in Parker which is an amazing community, but we have to wait for the former tenant (who has been given eviction notices and all that) to get out.  I am excited to have internet again so I can read all your great posts :). We are so excited to be here and I am super excited to get to know the area better! (oh yeah and I can't wait to go to California tomorrow :) ).
