Day 8 Denver

Yesterday we had the privelage of visiting the Denver Art Musuem expansion yesterday with our friend Sam yesterday--AMAZING! I don't think that any of the walls are perpendicular to the ground, and they even have hired an architect to design the scaffolding. If you have a chance, you should look at the website: denverartmuseum.org. It was so fascinating to walk through the skeleton of the building, and to realize what faith I implicitely have in architecture: I trust that walls will hold, and beams will support, and I rarely question structural integrity. There are so many things around that are like that, and so many talented people who make these "miracles" happen. Something to ponder...

Other highlights of our time in Denver: watching Sebastian get excited about seeing the turtles and fish at the Denver Zoo, having dinner with Sam, Dora's new achievements in swimming (she's willingly jumping off the steps and doesn't mind getting her face wet!), the rainy Saturday, our conversations with Matt's parents about faith and Church, the chocolate pudding cookies, playing Chicken Foot, and the hours and hours of TV.

Matt's parents have the van all ready for us to depart tomorrow: I'm so grateful for them sharing it with us! On the way here it was pretty cozy in the back seat, and the 3rd child, Matt's cello, blocked part of my view out the passenger window--not so safe. We would have made it work without the van, but it will be so nice to have the space, especially for our sanity!

All for now!
