Denver Botanic Gardens

















































Our friends, Kristie & Ethan, Alicia & Nathan.



It was fun to watch the artists and photographers throughout the gardens.

Kristie & Ethan just moved here. We like them. They are fun.




CAMDEN!!!

What a neat-looking greenhouse!



Humid inside the greenhouse! Felt more like FL than CO!

Hot, sweaty, and sooooo cute!


Can anyone say D.T. (as in, BYU campus)???! Actually, they've torn down all those dorms now. That makes me feel old.



This path felt funny on our feet. It was made of slippery river-stones turned on their ends.



Alicia & Naters through the moon arch.



Peek-a-boo!

Doesn't it look like someone used lipstick to kiss a heart-shape on this flower? The detail in Heavenly Father's creations often astounds me.

Cam was pretty excited about the grapes. And he even managed to swipe one when I wasn't looking, but I caught him before he ate it!



I was struck by the simplicity of this beautiful brass sculpture reflecting the sunlight and the peaceful space around it. (This one's totally for you, Nora. I never stopped to notice things like this before!)

Looks like a fantastic outing. Great apostle story.

By the way, Wachovia made the front page of the Times today. 8.9 billion losses. Yikes! I prefer a bank that can bring in a profit during this crisis. Congrats again, trent.
