The photos from the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour in Colorado have been posted. Aaron (my brother-in-law) took about 150 pictures, but I posted the ones I liked best. It was fun getting to go through the tour and see the beer brewing process, but the best part was at the end where we got to taste the beer (2 beers / person). I tried their version of a Guiness as well as a beer called the Harbin.

We also got to see the Clydesdale's after the tour. The horses are HUGE and were really excited to see us - think "red rocket" like a dog or "now I know why they say 'hung like a horse'!" I saw a lot of pumps and valves throughout the plant but never asked who made the pumps (eg. if they were Flowserve's). Click the image below to view the pictures:

I've uploaded some of the pictures from the visit to my parents house in Loveland, Colorado. We went hiking at Rocky Mountain National Park and went White Water rafting on a Wanderlust Adventure down the Poudre river. Click on the links below to check out the albums.  Also, remember that I now have two slideshow options in my gallery. You can view a full-screen slideshow from the root of each gallery (eg. where you are looking at all the picture thumbnails) and a regular slideshow as well.

We're in Loveland, CO for an extended weekend to visit my parents at their new house. My parents recently moved up here for my Dad's new job at McLane Co. To keep my mom happy, my dad bought her a big house. I'll try to take some pictures before we leave and post them when we get back.

Madeline, Laura and my friend from highschool in Plano, lives out here and is visiting us today. We are going hiking in just a few minutes, going white-water rafting tomorrow, and are going for the brewery tour sometime before we leave. Sorry for another short blog-post, but it's better than nothing, right?!
