(On the other hand, we would have paid to fly to SLC anyway for the game, so there was some value recovered there in the trip as well, since that stop was obtained for free.)

On the inflow side of the ledger, we each received a skykit on the ORD ...

So we stayed with Daniels friend Wes while we were in Denver. It was pretty cool since he only lived about 2 miles from downtown. His balcony faced downtown and was on the 9th floor, so we had an amazing view. Once we got there, we went for a 4 mile run on the greenway and through the city. There were tons of bikers just like Boulder. We ran to what we thought was the main drag, but ...

Waited this out for about an hour (because I am in a Miata) in the café drinking hot chocolate and then the sun came back out.

... täglich 11 Stunden auf Kinder aufzupassen und diese auch zu beschäftigen - vor allem bei so einer Hitze - die wir ja nicht gewöhnt sind.

The rest of this blog is mostly who we caught up with & how much we spent!

This was my first day of the mission trip. From what I remember, it was mostly worship and hanging out for the night and getting ready for our assignments for the week. Since I don't remember much from it, I won't go into to daily detail. Every day though I went to a boys and girls club and hung out with kids all day. It was an amazing experience and helped fuel me to go on more mission trips.

... Madison walked to the stream with the clothes. She stuck the clothes in the water and started washing. Then, something nibbled on her finger. CHOMP!!! A fish bit her finger. "AHHHHH!" Madison screamed. When she lifted her hand out of the water the fish was hanging there. "OF course." Madison said.
