Time in Denver

So i have left Denver behind now ... but here are just a few of the things i got up2 ...

Trip to the mall (shopping center really) ... So me and Janae took a little trip to one of the local malls! Which i have to say was pretty cool, i managed to pick myself up some pretty funky new sun glasses ...


And i guess it was always gonna happen that we would have a little fun somewhere or other ... well this time it was in the apple store, using their comp's we managed to take various shots and we even left one for them as their new wallpaper ... im sure they were pretty pleased about that!!! This is a bit of a classic one ...


So on Wednesday Janae had the whole day off work so we decided that it be best that we should take a little trip downtown ... we didnt expect to meet some giant blue bear though!!!



And then there was the cannons that we high jacked ....


And there was this conference center that we kinda found ourselves in ... and well everyone had these badges around their necks ... so we kinda hit up a little bit of that action and we got ourselves a badge with the thing you hang round your neck as well!

So later that evening we got to go out to dinner and then to chill out and see a movie with 2 of the sweetest guys i know ... Master Darren McCarthy, who was one of my outreach leaders and Master David Zuidema, who was on my DTS and is a total legend! So that really was a fun time, i got to eat some more panda which really works for me and to see David get electric shocked over and over when playing this game in a shop at the mall was priceless ... all i have to say David is ... Goooooooood JJJJJJJJobbbbbbb (it makes sense if you have seen Handcock)

So Thu we sneaked in a cheeky little trip to red rocks which was pretty cool, for those of you that dont know what red rocks is ... well shame on you!!! (Red Rocks is a geologically formed, open-air Amphitheatre)

So Thu nite was pretty sweet, all week i had been trying to sort out with one of my friends Clay to meet him, but it just never seemed to work out. I was kinda feeling really tired but was on the comp and just about to go to bed (was about 11:30) and i hear some1 racking the pool balls behind me, which i thought was a pretty strange event at that time of night, so i turn round, and who do i see ... my boy Clay!!! so early night outta the window and we played pool like old times, game after game, and Clay said it really was like old times cause he only won like 4 outta 30, but i told him it was the taking part that counts and he was happy enough! So it was proper sweet just to hang out and chat our way through so many games of pool, sharing stories of old, and talkin about steps forward for us both was cool. So finally after Jo joining us and greeting the returning outreaches we made it to be about 3:30 i think.

So it was worship fri morning at 9, so Clay who had crashed on the bed above me hit snooze 1 times too many i feel and i was awoke to "erm Sam ... its 9:02" so we just grabbed the nearest clothes to us both and ran to the worship center. Ok so it was worship as you may have first thought ... worship is a lifestyle not just singing songs ... So everyone was playing various games, so me clay and Janae (who thankfully was also late!) hit up a game of ultimate Frisbee ... and this really was ultimate!!! 5 v4 and the pitch was flipping huge!!! So im not gonna lie it was a struggle, i was feeling sick from the lack of sleep and then pretty much i just ran up and down a field for over and hour ... fun of course but man i was tired!

So the rest of the day went pretty quick just hanging out with some new friends from the DTS and SBS schools that were going on ... And it was time for me to leave Denver.

I had a really good time in Denver, i manged to get time to myself to just relax, spend time with God, spend time in his word. But also i had alot of good times! with old and new friends alike i enjoyed the whole week and am really glad that i made Denver a stop on my trip. So me and janae kinda realised that we didn't have any photos 2gether, so i shall leave you with one of us ... So here is me and my little American sister Janae :D
