Farm Field Trip!

Visited my coworkers' farm in Berthoud, CO this weekend. He has over 100 living things on his farm including people! It was fun and I learned so much about animals - I think it was even better than going to the zoo. My camera ran out of battery after one photo, but I managed to get a few with my phone.

Me on the Coors Field jumbotron

Last week I was on the Rockies jumbotron for the Xcel Energy Efficiency Quiz (good thing I
got it right!) It was a little overwhelming as I had no idea what I was doing but still fun. Oh, and they called me Karen, which is why you hear Josh yelling "Yeah Karen!" haha I got a $50 gift card for participating, which I promptly spent on Rockies/Red Sox tickets.

The question was:

What should you do to reduce the energy your computer uses when you aren't using it?

a) Turn on the screensaver
b) Turn off all applications (I originally read this as appliances, which is why I picked B first, then realized that still made no sense.)
c) Put it in sleep mode

Memorial Day Camping @ Crawford State Park

Three night camping adventure on the Western Slope. Camped in Crawford State Park. It was OK, but a bit more privacy would have been nice. We moved to a vacant site the last night, which was much nicer. We did some hiking, A LOT of driving, and even more brewery visting. Pretty much every single small town out there has at least one brewery. In Palisade, we even visited a (really good!) brewery, a winery, a distillery AND a meadery ... all in walking distance of eachother! Below is the list of breweries we visited. Some visits are documented in the pics below, but most are not. Great first camping trip of the summer! I can't wait for more!!

1. Revolution Brewing, Paonia, CO
2. Crested Butte Brewing, Gunnison, CO
3. Gunnison Brewery, Gunnison, CO
4. Horsefly Brewery, Montrose, CO
5. Palisade Brewery, Palisade, CO
6. Kannah Creek Brewery, Grand Junction, CO
7. Dillon Dam Brewery, Dillon, CO (twice!)
