Summer storms rolling in over the mountains

Things are heating up!

Whew, 97 degrees! That's toasty for early June in Colorado! I'm giving serious consideration to shaving Henry because the poor guy is having a tough time dealing with the hot weather. While he might end up looking incredibly goofy, he'd at least be more comfortable.

This weekend Graham headed to Angel Fire, New Mexico for a big bike race so I spent the weekend in Denver with Bryce and Henry. We had brunch at Parallel 17 and went to the Boulder Farmer's Market where I got a beautiful purple and white hanging flower basket (pictures to come).

We ended the weekend with Jazz in the Park, a fun event set next to the Denver City Park lake with a live Jazz band and a relaxed summer atmosphere. Earlier on Sunday we went to REI (a sporting goods store) and got camping chairs that have WINE glass holders. That's right, instead of the normal drink holder, it has a slot for the stem of a wine glass. So after a quick trip to World Market for two plastic wine glasses, we went to Jazz in the Park with a bottle of 2008 Artesa Chardonnay.

One of the highlights of the weekend was a visit to the Denver Museum IMAX. I would highly recommend the IMAX called "Hubble". It is a 45-minute film narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio about the Hubble space telescope. It includes extraordinary footage of pictures Hubble has taken and documents the shuttle mission in 2009 where the astronauts repaired and upgraded the telescope. Very cool stuff.

Stay cool and have a great week!
