Giraffe's Denver Adventures!




Hello Giraffe!  Sorry it's been so long but I had a glitch getting online!  Boy has it been fun here in Denver, Colorado.  They call it the Mile High City because it really is a mile high in elevation, and it sits right next to the Rocky Mountains, which get up to an elevation of 12,180 feet around Denver.  I got to know your cousin Rachel and Aunt Rae and Uncle Bob over a dice game called "Zilch".  It was a fun game, even if it required lots of counting:)  I partnered up with Rachel and we won!  In the first part of February we had a pretty big snow storm but it was cool cause the next day we got out in it and shoveled some, and then Rachel and I made Snow Angels!   I also got to meet your cousin Crystal and Uncle Cliff and Aunt Claire at a birthday party for Justin, Rachel's brother.  Met your other cousins, Mark, Jason, Tyler, Raymond and Emily and their son Lucas too...he's one year old but already walking and saying some words!  Boy, you have lots of family here...and they all wanted me to say hi and send their love!  I've been up into the mountains twice now...that was awesome!  I got to see an Ice Sculpture Festival at Cripple Creek, a small historic town in the mountains above Colorado Springs, that was cool!  I also went with Aunt Rae and Uncle Bob to Estes Park, a bigger ski and tourist town in the Mountains above Denver, sure was nice seeing the mountains:)  Hope you are doing great Giraffe, will write again...sooner this time! :)

  1. Wow! Those were some neat ice sculptures!! They probably would be hard to make now, since it is so much warmer and the ice would melt! We really liked the picture of Flat Stanley making a snow angel!! Looks like he is having a lot of fun there!
    Love,
