Hail in Osman and Dallice's lawn 

T posing in front of Boulder Creek. It was cold. Can you tell? 

The day before, this spot was being used as a swimming hole.  

While they may seem outdoorsy from their blog, Here's the backstage scoop.  

T and Marley. feel the love. 

On one of the days we were there we drove into Estes Park, CO and the Rocky Mountain National Park. while in Estes, we came across a really cute stationary store with a small cafe. I saw these cards and had a vague flashback to a children's book I read as a little-guy. I can't remember the details though... Any ideas?

This dude rode the whole way up the park road, a rise of several thousand feet and many many miles.

It was really cold in the mountains 

Marley accompanies Osman and Dallice to the "Happy Thursday" (aka cruiser night). where hundreds of people on bicycles get loaded and storm the city. Believe it or not, he stayed right on the trailer the whole ride (~ 12 miles)

As Tahera and Dallice entered the jump-off point for the festivities, Tahera got her first glimpse of who her fellow riders would be... 

As you can see, Cruiser Night brings out some of the more strange people in Boulder.  

*very* strange. 

Mass of bikers big and small.  

Breakfast stop at Lucile's, one of the more famous restaurants in Boulder. The buttermilk biscuits are ginormous, delicious, and definitely NOT fat free. 

Let's just say Dallice and Osman had no qualms with a little "P.D.A." 

Downtown Boulder has lots of interesting things to see. Here's one of the plates from Boulder's newspaper, 'The Daily Camera' that's embedded into the sidewalk. 

Enjoying the sunny weather in Boulder 

On the 2nd day, the weather was "perfect" for tubing down Boulder Creek, which runs right through the city. The water forms primarily from snowmelt, so needless to say it was frigid. I planned to stay on top of the tube and keep relatively dry, which of course resulted in my falling flat into the water within moments of entering the stream. 

Approaching certain death... 

It's a lot scarier when you're actually in the tube. Initially I was too embarassed to put this pic up, then I realized I wasn't making the funnier expression.  

Eventually we got the hang of it. T took this great shot of us tubing down the creek. 

I was too scared to ask what those ladies were selling.
