3rd Annual Thanksgiving w/ the Colorado family

We spent our 3rd Thanksgiving away from home in Denver this year. Joe and Whit came down from Fort Collins for the feast...no Jim F.C.

Kristi preps the turkey with Joe and Whit watching intently.

The turkey is ready to be cooked...nice work ladies!

Beau and Joe enjoy a Banquet before the banquet.

Beau makes the first incision...cooked to perfection...sorta

Immediately following the feast, we decided to have a Cranium - Battle of the Sexes. The ladies dominated as usual. Above, Beau goes against Joe's urging to "cloodle" and decides to attempt a "letter line-up"...one of many poor decisions that night.

We should note that although the night was extremely eventful, we failed to secure a group photo yet again,...so you'll have to trust us when we say that we were "all there!"

Mountain Biking @ Green Mountain

During one of the last really nice weekends, Beau decided to do a bit of amateur mountain biking on a not-so-amateur course called Green Mountain.

A view of Denver from the entrance to the course.


Sneak Preview of the Green Mountain course

Self portrait with a portion of the course in the background...a little more than I bargained for!

The largest spider I've ever seen nearly caused me to wreck (picture doesn't do it justice...it was big!)..I wear a size 11 shoe

A tumble off course and into the brush ended my session a little earlier than planned. That and the fact that I'm not in shape for the type of climbing involved!

*NEW* Frankie Pics!

VERY cute, new pics of Frankie - in the t-shirt we gave him :)

Random Sunday at Wyman's #5

We finally found a good place to get "decent" pizza in Colorado. An afternoon at Wyman's #5 accompanied by some beers, Bears, and deep dish pizza yielded a semi-tipsy bicycle ride home and Kristi's invention of the CellMuffs...a new revelation in ear warmth & communication.

Beau has gone cross-eyed because he's so impressed with Kristi's new invention!
