I blame the visitor

So I have been away from the blog for awhile. I will blame Garrett. Granted he didn't come to Denver until Oct. 13th, but I will still blame him for my laziness with updating my blog. Being here for ten days has provided opportunities for some fun outings around Denver. We went with Garrett's sister and her family up to Idaho Springs one Saturday for some fall scenery and delicious Beau Jo's Pizza!

We also discovered a crazy giant pumpkin wheel located next to a pretty waterfall???

We lucked out with some free tickets to an Avalanche game! It was my first hockey game ever and it was awesome!!

Pretty good seats, eh? Definitely a perk of working at a non-profit.

Not only was there a giant Chipotle burrito blimp floating around dropping the occasional gift card, but at one point hey just threw burritos into the crowd!! Sadly, we did not receive any free Chipotle :-(

We actually managed to find time to have an actual date! And also found ourselves with the coolest seating in the house:

And massive amounts of food. And 25 cent New Belgium beers (not kidding).

We got to take a little field trip up to the pumpkin patch to see some more of Garrett's family.

And saw this little pony. Looks cute, right? There was a helpful little sign nearby: "Horse Bites."

There was a handy little straw maze that anyone over 4ft could see over...

...but plenty of little kids couldn't!!

And there was this supercool old-school train tractor thing. And it definitely still worked!

As a great way to begin to bring our weekend to a close, we decided that even though the Avalanche game left us without Chipotle, we'd go get some at the very first Chipotle ever!
