Someone had emptied the abandoned swimming pool and put whatever was salvaged from the bottom on the side of the house. I found a kitten there... the smallest kitten I've ever known to exist... she could latch on to my finger with her claws and stand there - I could have fit 5 of her in the palm of my hand. Also saw large and small frogs... and a duck-billed platypus - there was actually 4 of them, one adult and 3 babies.. I took them in and had one of my sisters set up a pail of water - it was a shallow pail and after putting the adult in, it transformed from it's natural furry brown color to bright red with accents of orange and yellow - the babies did the same but stayed red and lacked the additional adult accents.

Had to go to Denver for work and got to invite my family to come along - it was nice to have the whole family in a new place together... and all of us together. Although there was a stress about a certain someone being there that I wanted to avoid... it didn't spoil the family time. It was snowing and smoke puffed from the tops of the chimneys of the scattered cabins in the snowy mountains.

Went theme tubing with Pat and his typical Tri-B crew - though I seemed to be the only one that dressed up in costume... I remember pulling my phone out to snap a picture of all of us and thought to myself.. I should have brought a water proof bag to keep this in... I was on the tail end of the and my view was as if you were looking out of the back window of a car as it drove forward... I didn't bother to pay attention to where we were going... and sometimes we hit rapids and went really fast.
