Some Great People

One last thing about Denver.
Jena and Dustin Dupont are freaking awesome.  We stayed with these folks and their two young daughters for a week and had a total blast the whole time.  Thanks again guys for letting us stay : )

Lily and Vada, the kids.  The funniest thing was that Vada (the youngest) immediately saddled right up to Dan and was his buddy the entire time.  We were walking up the steps at Red Rocks during the day and Dustin offered to take her hand to help her up the steep stairs.  She pushed her hair out of her face, pointed up to Dan and said, "I want that."  Haha, so funny.  I don't remember being such a ham when I was younger but Kat said she totally was.  Maybe we're all merciless flirts as young girls and some of us just try to block it out.

The Whole Gang: Dan, Vada, me, Conner, Dustin, Lily, Jena

Conner and I--well, more like Conner--helped Jena put this pond in their back yard.  Apparently now there's even goldfish in it.
