Amy's Trip to Colorado.

Amy used to be my partner in crime. We spent every waking moment together for probably five years. But now we're grown ups with families and responsibilities and it had been a while since I got a good dose of Amy. So, I was very excited when she decided to come visit. We hit the ground running as soon as she flew in. Straight from the airport we headed for Denver to go eat lunch with her aunt. On the way home I decided to show her Red Rocks since it's only ten minutes away from where we live...
The Rocks...They're red.
The amphitheater.

We're not quite sure what Bridget was trying to accomplish here. But it looks weird.

After our visit to Red Rocks we dropped Amy's stuff off and headed straight for Downtown Littleton...



We were laughing at Bridget in this picture because she looked like a drunken sailor who only had one eye while taking this picture.

Here we are laughing at Bridget again while she tried to take our picture.

We kept stopping to smell the flowers. We looked pretty strange but we didn't care. They were so beautiful...


The next day we were supposed to wake up early to go white water rafting but Scout had other plans. While I was letting him out to go to the bathroom he cut his foot on the lawn edging and we had to rush him to the vet's office instead. So while we waited for him to get out of surgery we hung out by the pool and read books. It was actually pretty relaxing, well...until we got the vet bill.

So we took a day off and started over again. On Friday we drove the twenty minutes to Idaho Springs to go white water rafting. Amy was so scared she was going to die. It was actually pretty hilarious.

Don't we look good???

After we spent the morning rafting we decided to drive the rest of the way to Breckenridge to do the tourist thing.
Saturday was Amy's last full day with us so I decided to take her to Devil's Head to hike, even though Amy's legs were sore from hanging on to dear life the day before....

She loved it.

The next day we all got in the car, (including Scout) for a road trip to Texas...
