My old coworker and great friend Kelley came to visit last week from Iowa with her friend from North Carolina allowing me to play tour guide for a few days.  Brynlee loves Kelley and it was also nice for me to get out and do some fun things with the ladies (thanks to my terrific babysitters!).

We went to the butterfly pavilion one of the days they were here.  Brynlee thought it was pretty neat...hopefully they did too!

She was also very interetsed in all the other kids there...though they weren't nearly so interested in her.

That night we went to see the Rockies lose.  Still a good time!

We also went up toward Idaho Springs and 'hiked' around Echo Lake (its more like a walk) and went rafting that afternoon on Clear Creek.  Very fun!

Not where we rafted :)

I just love the mountains!  We haven't spent nearly enough time in them this summer! 

I, of course, have to thank Kelley for the pics!  I thought it was too funny that she took a picture of this sign!  Oh the novelties of a mountain state!
