Letters From Space

Finally a chance to see Letters From Space perform live!  Mike Garner, the band's frontman, is Mark's cousin, and ever since we started relocating to Colorado, we've been waiting for a performance to pop up that we could attend with our kids.  The Old South Gaylord Memorial Day Festival in Denver was the perfect chance for our family, so off we went.

Letters From Space was seriously rockin'!  And that Mike Garner was GOOD!  Way to go, guys.

Dale and Rose handled the loud music like true seasoned groupies and danced for everyone in front of the stage.

Until Rose got tired.

We weren't the only ones who came that day to see Mike perform.  Aunt Barbara was there, and so was Mike's sweetheart Jessica.  It was so nice to see our Colorado family.

Dale and Rose were so good at the festival that we decided ice cream was a must.  It was pink ice cream for Rose and of course chocolate for Dale.

The one raised eyebrow ice cream look.

One Day in Denver

Taking the long way to Colorado meant a very long day in the car, but when we finally arrived in Thornton, we were so happy to be able to hang with the Paltes.  Double date!

 

Mark and his date Chris.

After our lovely night stay at Hotel Palte, we were greeted by such pretty morning smiles.

 

Oh how I miss those girls, and we didn't have much time with them, because it was time to head to Denver for our show.

 

When I saw that The Book of Mormon was coming to Denver on its first National Tour, I was all over that and somehow miraculously managed to score us two tickets to see the funniest show I've ever seen.

 

We arrived to our show early, so we could walk around downtown a bit. But then something terrible happened...

 

 

Mark almost got squished!

 

Honey!  Look out!  And don't drop my coffee!

Denver is one of my favorite cities in the country.  It's so easy and relaxing and clean.

 

We had a blast.  I've never laughed so hard at a musical.  I've never laughed so hard ever.  I was highly caffeinated while I watched the show too, so I'm surely going straight to Hell.
