Visitors From Crimson Country

Our dear friends came from Crimson country (UTAH!) to visit us for the weekend. And coincidentally, the Utes had a game here- so OF COURSE we had to go!

First, we needed some food- so we decided to try out a local place- the Western Omelette, which is known for the hottest green chili.


Here's us! We enjoyed the chili- the mild was hot enough for even me! (and I love spicy stuff)


Maura, Cole & Crew- ready for some grub and some game! Cole braved the hot chili- one tiny taste was enough for me.


Jarad and little Crew-man! So cute!

Bellies are full and after dropping Crew off with my sister-in-law, we were on to cheer on our UTES!


We are ready in RED! GO UTES! (Funny moment- Maura and I grabbed these signs and the boys almost had our heads- "You can't have Air Force signs!" Not to worry- it was only for the pic- then they went in the trash.)


Since the game was at Falcon Stadium- they did a fly-by, had jumpers and a zillion cadets on the field to start the game.


We love going to Ute games! (even though it was getting real chilly!)


All of us after the WIN!


We had to have a late night snack- yummy Buffalo Wild Wings-to go! We ate so many wings!


Sunday morning breakfast- strawberry stuffed french toast! yum!



After church, we decided to go see the Garden of the Gods. It was a nice afternoon walk and we saw alot of deer and some crazy rock-climbers too.


Cole, Maura & Crew- such a good pals and such a cute fam!




Our family- Sadie LOVES being outdoors too.

Monday- we were going to do another hike, but because of the cold, yucky weather, we decided to head up to Denver for some adventure.

First we went to see the temple. We walked around the grounds and took some cute pics and enjoyed the fall leaves and trees.

I am loving fall- the trees at the temple were gorgeous!


Crew is just so adorable!

After the temple, we went to the Denver Aquarium- which is the best aquarium I've ever been to! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Jarad is going in! Seriously- he would love to dive with sharks.


I LOVE sea turtles- I could sit and watch them glide around all day!


I found it very entertaining that there were pumpkins in some of the tanks!


Here we are- enjoying the fishes.


Jarad loved the HUGE sharks.


I've never seen a tiger in an Aquarium before! But it was neat because he was very active.


And the end of the Aquarium- they have a large pool of sting-rays that we got to touch.

After we finished up at the Aquarium- we needed some food before we sent our friends off to the airport.


We went to Beau Jo's Pizza- a Colorado place- infamous for delicious crust (and they lived up to their reputation!)

We had such a great weekend with AMAZING friends! Thanks for coming to visit! We love you guys!!
