The Zoo!!

Mike and I went on a fun zoo trip with Lily, Troy, Isabella, and Victoria. I love the zoo! We're thinking about getting a zoo pass. We really liked it.

Victoria and I taking in the sites.

I think Isabella enjoyed the bears the most...oh wait, that's Mike! Ha. Isabella confuses the two : ) Zebras!!

The baby giraffe! The baby animals were my favorite, go figure..
My hand compared to a polar bear's paw.
Isaboo..."Can I get out and walk yet??" She was a little peeved that she couldn't walk around after it rained.

Roar.


The rest of the zoo crew: Lily with Victoria and Troy with Isabella.This was my first time to the zoo in our town. It was soo much fun! I hadn't been to the zoo since I was a kid. It was zootastic.

YAR aka: Young Adult Retreat

Mike and I had a blast on our YAM (Young Adult Ministry) retreat this weekend. We got to stay in a beautiful home owned by a family at church. 30 people were on the retreat and everybody had a bed...this place was definitely spacious. We went to Fairplay, which is 2 hours West of Denver. The Aspens have turned and were quite a site. Here follows a picture tour:

During the weekend we played foosball, went on walks, played wiffle ball, had family style meals, got little sleep, played poker, some of the boys watched the Broncos game, we played Apples to Apples, and we had group devotional time. It was a wonderful weekend filled with quality time with new friends.

A Golden Birthday!

Michael turned 25 on September 25th, 2008. Obviously, this is not a timely post...

We had a long day at work but made sure to celebrate in style! Pictured above is one of Mike's presents, a 'crown of thorns' ring from James Avery. Wiley was of course part of the celebration. We had Maggiano's for dinner and ended the night by watching Run Fat Boy Run, which was very good. I think Mike would agree that he had a great Birthday!
