Meet Ben & Paul.............................

Ben and Paul are friends of Sean's. They lived in Philadelphia with him working on the house they all lived in. They were nice enough to agree to come out for awhile (14 days) and help us out. They did support work on the house, new windows, doors, and the most beautiful stairs anyone has ever seen.
So with all that hard work we decided that a weekend in the moutains would be good. This store is on the way to Estes Park, and has a damn good cherry pie.


They also sell shirts and stuff, stuff being visors. You can see one here modeled by Paul. (headshots are available on request)
We drove up Trail Ridge road and found this beautiful view.
Ben and I were relaxing on this nice bench until........................................................................SNOWBALL FIGHT! It was everyone vs. Paul. It made sense at the time.

Ben's idea of a snowball is about a foot wide and wieghs 5 lbs. Too bad for Paul.

Amazing ice sculptures.
If you live in Estes, you are guaranteed to have elk and or deer living in your front yard. The baby deer have huge ears. I think that's funny.
We drove for awhile in the moutains looking for a place to sleep. Finally we found Sundance Lodge, in Nederland. Nederland is home to the amazing frozen dead guy!
We didn't know that the pilot light to our heater wasn't lit till we had spent a couple hours in the restraunt drinking stout and irish coffee and just wanted to eat our cherry pie and go to bed. It was cold.


We worked for another week with them, going back and forth from the house to our fancy motel rooms at the Red Coach Inn. Frequenting the Bayou House next door for $2 pints of Blue Moon and a decent juke box.

These guys saved us. They are truly great people and if you find yourself in Philadelphia and see them on the street, buy them a drink.

You all don't get to see the photos of revelry in Denver, but hopefully you will see Sean and I soon. Looks like the ranch is going to keep us till a little before Christmas now.

Love-
Christina + Sean
