Home from Colorado

We got home a few hours ago. We had a lot of fun.

There's a few photos of our trip.

We left on Saturday, June 28th and went to Yellowstone on our way down to Crested Butte. We got there late and just had dinner in our hotel room and went to bed.

On Sunday we went into the park.

Mosquito and Punkin concocted a story about how the geysers are fake and here's one of the reasons they decided to come up with this story:

We had a picnic in the park:

Then we went to see Old Faithful.

Then on Monday, we drove on to Crested Butte and stayed with mosquito's family.

Tuesday we didn't do much.

Wednesday we went horseback riding.

Thursday we went river rafting. The water was FREAKING COLD and mosquito and I both fell out of the raft.  During my little swim I lost the green bandanna I was using to keep the sun off my head.  :(  The last photo was one our guide suggested as a joke -- act serious while using our paddles upside-down.

Friday was the 4th and we went to a parade -- in fact Punkin was even in it! Before the parade we had pancakes at the firehouse and mosquito played fireman.

Afterwards we went fishing.

Saturday we did nothing.

Sunday Mosquito and I started our drive home. We stayed the night in Boise, ID and then finished the drive home today. We stopped in Roslyn on the way just to get a photo op.

Awesome Real Life Portal pics

Images of a portal spotted in Toronto. These were totally stolen from Sam Javanrouh. You can find more pics and specific location info on his photoblog by clicking on the photos below. Each photo takes you to a different page.




This is completely awesome and what I like best is that you can tell the person who did the installation actually used photos of the area that the portal should be looking out on to.

I'm busy at work today, so here's something to play with. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/03/28/arts/20080330_FOLD_IN_FEATURE.html

Happy Easter

I'm not religious at all, but we always celebrated Easter while I was growing up.  Getting a chocolate bunny and hunting for eggs with coins and candy inside was just always something I enjoyed. 

We went to a brunch yesterday to celebrate Easter.  It was nice.  I haven't seen some of the people there for MONTHS and it was nice to sit around and chat and have girly talk with someone.  I rarely get to do that these days. 

Today we're not doing much.  The Punkin is with her dad and Mosquito and I are just sitting around watching TV.

I hope you all have a nice Easter.
