The Lees

Last weekend we felt lucky to have our friends Jared, Mandi, and Johana come out to visit us! They made the long drive from Salt Lake City and their 4 1/2 month old baby, Johana, didn't cry once! We like to think that she was just super excited to come out for the visit, but I really think she is just the best little baby!
While they were here we visited the Butterfly Pavilion, Estes Park, played a round of Frisbee Golf (Jared tried to give me some tips, but I think I might be a lost cause), and the gals did a little shopping with a pedicure. We had such a good time visiting with them into the late hours of the night--sleeping just wasn't as much fun. It was a great weekend. We're hoping it's not too long before we can find an excuse and see them again soon!



The gang at the Butterfly Pavilion~the marketing for this might have been targeting a slightly different population, but who could pass this up?




The gals keeping an eye out for all of the butterflies, and trying to keep Johana out of the sun!



At the Pavilion they also had a few fish tanks. Johana has some impressive skills that she demonstrated below...

Look at her perfect grip on that fish! That fish is lucky there was glass between her and those shiny blue scales!

We stumbled across just a "few" elk while visiting Estes Park. It was pretty neat to hear all of them bugling. Mandi and I really enjoyed watching Bryan and Jared's excitement with seeing so many elk and hearing the bugling. Bryan and Jared have their own elk bugles that were pretty good-lucky for these elk below, no tags or guns within Bryan and Jared's possessions.

  1. Laura, we need to get together sometime since we are close to your area. We still haven't been to many places around Colorado even though we have been here for four years now. Let us know if you ever want to check out Colorado Springs. Oh, and happy first anniversary! How fun!
