Spring Break!

My honey came and visited me over spring break.... Between tux fittings, gift registering, house-hunting, and budget-making, we still had a chance to get out and enjoy some fresh Colorado air, starting with some miniature golf:

The course had a "Colorado Journey" theme... ranging from the Garden of the Gods (above), to the Eisenhower Tunnel:



At the time, we thought it was a cave. Ergo, we're cavemen.




And, for some reason, bodybuilders.







Later in the week, we went hiking in the Flatirons outside of Boulder, to one of the "summits" in this series of mini-peaks.






That's as far as I could make it after setting the camera timer...










Dad gave me "Moose Tracks" for Christmas (basically, tire chains for your shoes), and I finally got to put them to use (the trail was pretty icy in spots)... we had just one pair, though, so we each only got one.




Hey! Look what I found in the forest!!!






We also took some "official" engagement photos for invitations and such... I'd set the camera timer, run over, and try to look natural...



...often unsuccessfully.




Kitchen glamor shots turned out better.


Hoping for a better background, we stopped at a nearby park, and I continued the set-timer-and-run routine, resulting in a series of very awkward shots.



The Prom Pose.




The Hunchback Boyfriend.




The awkward elbow-squeeze.



The Fiendish Smile shot.



And, finally, something a little more acceptable. :)
