We kicked off a month of friends visiting Colorado with a visit from Bekah and her friend Beth. Bekah and I led Young Life in college together and was a bridesmaid in our wedding, and she's now living in Texas and working as an illustrator for Fossil. Her friend Beth, from Nashville, met her in Denver for the weekend and we all had a great time seeing Denver and hiking! The spent the other half of their visit with another friend, and topped off their trip by hiking a 14,000' mountain. What a trip!
Friday night we had dinner reservations at this great new restaurant in Denver called "Linger." Chris made dinner reservations 3 months ago because reservations are tough to come by on weekend nights! When he made the reservations he looked up which nights the Rockies baseball stadium fireworks would be, knowing the restaurant has an incredible view overlooking downtown Denver (and the stadium). The restaurant also overlooks Little Man Ice Cream - which we all know is one of our Denver favorites - so in the photo below you can see the top of the Little Man milk can, with the fireworks in the distance. It was a magical view, and a delicious dinner with great friends.
We hiked at Mount Falcon on Saturday, and made a puppy friend along the way!
We also went to Red Rocks Amphitheater to check it out - it really is such a neat place to take people visiting Denver because it is unlike anything most people have ever seen. The natural rock formations and bright red color of the rocks is incredible. I was sad to see them leave, but so glad to get to spend time together catching up.
