Colorado Rockies game
Rainbow slushy!
For some reason, I think this might be the only picture of Sarah and I!
Yay, buffalo!
Coupons and groupons!
Super tasty ice cream- and the kid cones were HUGE!
Hanging out at the RV!
We got a Groupon for a bakery in Ft. Collins- bought lots of cookies!
New Belgium Brewery, writing our postcards
On the tour- Sarah and Jeff were really worried that our tour guide would be super cheesy but he was awesome! It was a great tour- super informative and interesting
Sampling
Lots of interesting details, including these beer bottle light fixtures
More sampling!
They have a charging station for any employees who drive electric vehicles- pretty neat.
Bottling line
More cool decor using their beer cans
I like that motto- super positive!
After New Belgium Brewery, we headed around the corner to Odell- definitely no comparison in terms of the tour (I can't speak for beer since I don't drink). New Belgium does a great job with making people feel welcome, but Odell hasn't quite figure it out yet.
The sampler
Lots of barrels!
After the tours, we headed to the bowling alley- Jeff wasn't super excited about it but Sarah and I were jazzed (plus, again we had a Groupon!)
"No bowling!"
We give bowling a thumbs up!
But thumbs down for Jeff being crotchety, haha!
Picnicking at Rocky Mountain (i.e. we stopped at the grocery store outside the park and grabbed chicken tenders from the deli!)
Loving the fresh air!
Such awesome friends!
So many elk everywhere!
Just before Sarah started to get altitude sickness- they made it up to almost 12,000 feet!
No photos allowed in the Denver Mint, but I did get one just outside. I also exchanged a dollar bill for newly minted quarters...only to probably spend them on laundry! I'll have to go back!
Random roster restaurant we ate at while waiting for our time slot at Hammond's Candies
Local candy producer- Adam and I actually came across their chocolates in Carlsbad, CA in December!
Jeff's goodies!
The rest of the month of June was "Orientation" time- two sets of orientation groups each week, so work was keeping me busy. We did have a few casual visitors come through, including one of my old Orientation Leader friends who I hadn't seen in 8 years!
Picked up some buffalo, elk, and beef jerky
Pat wanted to check out some breweries, so we took him to Upslope, Oskar Blues, and Avery (we took him to one or two others, but I can't remember)
At Avery- Pat had a beer and I had a root beer (or what Juan calls "menthol soda")
All my Orientation students for June- and yes, I am positive it was super awkward for them because they didn't know each other or me yet, but I'm hoping that I get a chance to share these with the students at the end of the year...we'll see how committed I am to sending out 250 emails! I've met and recognize most of these students, but there are a few that I don't recognize and probably haven't seen since Orientation.
