Bierstadt Lake
So on our way up to Bierstadt Lake yesterday, Debbie and I saw 6 bears and a herd of 17 HUGE moose! We also saw 11 giraffes, 2 elephants, and a tiger.

Just life
So my brother was ragging on me the other day about not blogging much lately, to which I replied that not much was going on in my life, to which HE replied was when the best bloggers blogged about nothing! Well apparently I'm not the best blogger, but I figured I'd still blog a little about nothing just to keep you up to date on my not-really-exciting life. :)
So summer school is in the second week and will be over Friday. My answer when people ask how it's going is "well.... I'm getting paid extra to do it!" Actually it's not too bad, I just don't feel that it is really very helpful to many of the kids. Science has been fun though. We've blown up Diet Coke (with Mentos) and made snot (out of borax and glue) and dissected a virtual frog. We're also doing an egg drop this Friday, so they've been testing their egg-protecting inventions to see if they can have their egg not break when they chuck it off the second story of the school.
Outside of summer school I'm still just enjoying life in the mountains. Debbie and I went for a hike in the park the other day and saw a very cute and very fat black bear. He was right on the trail (and Debbie was a little freaked out) but he didn't give a hoot that we were there... he was just eating his berries and digging for bugs under the rocks to get all chubby for winter. It sucks that Sherlock can't go into the National Park, but I take him swimming a lot nearby, so he's been a happy pup.
That's really about it from here... I'm off to play with the pupper dog and then do some yoga!

The Happy Bus!
Susan had this picture on her camera and finally posted it on facebook, but I thought I'd put it here too :) From left to right: Jordan, Jessica, Me, Benjamin (our driver), Ben, Kathryn, Susan, and Tim -- aka the happy bus :)
