It isn't easy being K

We spent the last part of our summer in Aspen.


Rockclimbing

A night at the rodeo

A return to the scene of the crime! The ice rink where I broke my arm two years ago. No ice skating for me this summer!

Oops!

Fun in the park!

Visiting the dogs of Aspen at The Aspen Times and Kemosabe.

Always out looking at real estate. Does it get much more beautiful than this? Maytag Ranch near Salida in central Colorado. Buy 1,000 acres of land and you get 110 pounds of beef a year. Burgers and steaks. Yum!!!!!

We didn't always eat healthy. Besides there is not much between Salida and Denver.

We wrapped up our trip with a day at the Denver Zoo.

Love these sweet looking bears. One night while we were in Aspen we had dinner with our friend, Annamie, she was late because there was a bear eating berries right outside of her door. She had to wait for the bear to leave before she could join us for dinner. The police received reports of 26 bears in 3 days. A bear even went into a fur store in town.

A night at the rodeo

Last night we went to the rodeo with Kimmie, my bestest, bestest, bestest friend from high school. It was a beautiful evening, cool and not a cloud in the sky. A rodeo in Aspen is not like a rodeo in other parts of the country-picture LA/NY cowboy chic. Next time we go I will have to stop by Kemosabe to pick up just the right cowboy clothing. We had yummy barbecue when we got to the rodeo. They had all kinds of fun kids activities-sheep riding for the little kids, calf chasing and mechanical bull riding. And the best part? The actual rodeo only lasted about 30 minutes. After the barrel racing and bull riding they had a country western band and marshmallow roast. Kimmie always has the best time when we come to Aspen because she gets to do all of touristy stuff. Thanks for always being such a good sport and such a wonderful friend for so many years! (I'm not saying how many!)
