Good afternoon everyone! It has been so great meeting you all last night and this morning, and I hope everyone is getting all settled in. How's the altitude treating you? Just keep breathing and drinking lots of water!
Earlier in the week (before you all arrived) we took a little staff trip up to into Rocky Mountain National Park. I know you all are busy this week but you've got to make time for a trip out there. It's like standing on top of the world. The air is too thin for trees to grow, so the only plants that can somehow survive the wind and cold are moss and lichen and tiny flowers of brilliant purple and yellow and white. And of course, there's always the wildlife... we spotted the following:
A chipmunk, an elk, and a bird (any bird watchers want to tell me what kind?!)
So, in a nutshell, GO! This event is special for a lot of reasons but one of them is because of where we are. Take a hike, sit in the sunshine, and just enjoy what God made here, because it's pretty awesome.
Well, I'll be sharing my thoughts about last night's concert and more from today but first things first - lunchtime!
