You'll be pleased to know that in addition to working hard during business hours, we've been working hard outside hours too.
Today we drove from Boulder CO ('CO' is for Colorado) out to the Rock Mountains National Park. It was a bit of a epic trip but the scenery was amazing. The mountains are absolutely covered in tall aspens and pines, and really seem to stretch on forever. They stand shoulder to shoulder rising up into the cloudy, blue sky from dark, still lakes and grassy valleys. Every now and then a deer or 20 will wander out from the trees, graze and then continue on. Crazy.
We've been really blessed with the animals we've seen here so far. In addition to almost running into a young, small and very cute brown bear while riding last week (we couldn't see his mum, but I bet she never lost sight of us), we saw a couple of elk (with ENORMOUS antlers), lots of herds of venison - excuse me: deer - loads of chipmunks, ground squirrels and other random little furry animals.
Once I can find some way to download my photos I'll post them and let you know. HERE THEY ARE (this is a growing collection of all photos taken in Colorado)
- oh and we also paused on our tour to run to the top of a 12005ft (3659m) mountain lookout. There wasn't quite as much oxygen there as there was in London 2 weeks ago - but there was just as many tourists :)

Matt, we really enjoyed your photos - just amazing! You are so blessed to be enjoying God's wonderful wildlife and countryside. White water rafting.....wow! We know you would have really enjoyed this. Take care, love mum & dad
Matt were you saying you needed brain surgery after all that outdoor activity. It did make me tired looking at all the photos. Also Matt, that brown bear didn't look that cuddly to me. Was he the friendly sort? Have a great time!
