Denver Weekend

This weekend we took off to Denver for an awesome long weekend to celebrate Ann and Cole's "Re-Wedding" celebration. Ann and Josh have been friends for every day of Josh's life (luckily, Ann had 4 days without him before he showed up!) and Josh is even Cole and Ann's daugher's Godfather!


On Saturday, Ann and Cole had a proper wedding with all the fixins. They have been married for almost 2 years but never got to have a wedding ceremony and reception. Josh was the officiant of the ceremony and did an awesome job! Since they were already married, he didn't have to be ordained. He bagged a little bit much on Ann, but I think she loves him anyway! They wrote their own vows and they were beautiful! The reception was a blast and we danced the night away!

Sunday, we woke up early, went to Panera (our tradition) and then headed to the Denver Zoo. For those of you who don't know me very well, I LOVE ZOOs! It was so neat! It was huge and had awesome enclosures for the animals. They even had Polar Bears! My favorite! Just like in KC though, it was Sunday and most definitely a "Day of Rest" for the animals because they were all sleeping!

The zoo was followed up by a Colorado Rockies baseball game. Such a cool stadium. The weather was a little warm for my fair skin so we lathered on the sunscreen. About the time we were completely covered, the clouds came out and the rain started to fall! Luckily for us, we were so high up that we were under the awning! Great seats! :) And, the Rockies won!



The evening ended fabulously! Sushi and playing with Sophia! Perfect!


Monday we got up early, went back to Panera (where else would we go? Snooze?), and then headed to Josh's favorite place: REI. If you don't know what that is, google it! I was lucky though because Josh let me buy something and he didn't buy a thing! Amazing! I got rain gear! This is awesome for someone who spends 2 seasons a year sitting in rain watching football and baseball!
All in all, an awesome weekend! Thanks Ann and Cole for letting us be a part of your special day!

I can't believe Josh didn't buy anything at REI and it was sale weekend! September 19th is their big garage sale 9-5. Get there early, but SOOOOO worth it. Great blog. Sounds like an awesome weekend. Darn, we should have hit up our zoo while you were here. We have Polar Bears too.

So glad you had a perfect weekend, even if it was a short time in the Rockies, you did pack in the fun! Not like you to omit photos... hint, hint.
