Noosa Alert!

So, things have picked up speed here in Denver and I haven't made much time to update here.  We've been staying busy enjoying all of the free and low cost experiences that Denver has to offer.  Last weekend we went to the First Fridays art walk and First Saturday at the Denver Art Museum.  On Sunday we took a super long bike ride from park to park to pool to park again, with a frisbee/cartwheel break in between. 

This weekend we took a short hike up to Bridal Veil Falls, a thin but fast-moving 20 foot tall waterfall that runs between two slick rock faces.  The whole hike was beautiful; within each mile, the terrain switches, going from meadow-y open spaces to forest glen to river-side meandering to a craggy uphill path to a boulder hopping finish.  On the way back, we watched a storm roll in behind us and were cooled by its drizzles. 

The drive to this trailhead passes by The Stanley Hotel, which is where The Shining was filmed.  Next weekend, we're going to watch the movie and then visit the hotel ----- spoooooky times!!!

The other discovery of epic proportions is our discovery of the most delicious yogurt ever made in the history of the universe.  It's called Noosa, is Australian style and made fresh here in Colorado.  We picked up a huge batch from the farmer's market this weekend.  It tastes like creme-fraiche and whipped cream swirled together and when topped with mango, cherries, and strawberries, it is the yummiest summer dessert I've ever had.  Long live the Noosa!!  All hail the Noosa!!!
