hazel LOVES to go for rides in the bike trailer :)

she begs for it!

so we rode down pearl street for some burgers.

it was super nice outside!

that is not part of her helmet strap strangling her, it's her headband.

the air hockey on a bike, people playing WHILE riding,

the air actually turned on with a generator... it was nuts!

a table tennis thing was on the back of the bike

once we were at the festival

beer.

the money went to a good cause,

greenifying the state...

pushing for more bike stuff or something...

*cups = compostable

sweet potato fries with raspberry-habanero sauce

SOOOOO GOOD!

during the race

people get on crazy bikes and try to ride as slow as possible.

then you are the winner of our heat.

and the winner of them all won a bike!

i was collecting cups to compost, and it totally looks like i drank a million beers.

2 was enough to make it hard to ride home...

yikes :)

Obama in the Library

Obama was like 100 yards from me.

We found out Friday that Obama was campaigning in Denver,

Sunday,

right next to our church,

behind the library.

wow!

*

we rode our bikes, so we wouldn't have to pay $1800 for parking

and so we wouldn't hit traffic.

*

we wanted to see him, but it was in the middle of church

and i thought i might get mauled.

so many people.

i think like 100,000.

see the people all in line?

this was just in front of our church

all the racks were used up.

zoom in to see scooters

more people

the 'brary

aspen, like a papoose

for the 8 mile ride home

these were all taken from the ole phone.

i could hear him talking, but didn't know what he was saying.

It must have only been for about 1 hour,

b/c people started pouring out at 12:30,

and it started at 11:30?!?!?

anyways, thought that was cool!
