JUNE 12-17 DENVER CO Over my next week, I went to the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit in Denver, CO. While there, I ran into a close friend from my hometown and her family. The exhibit was incredible and inspirational. He was a very talented and creative designer. The next day my grandmother, feeling inspired, decided to take my cousin and I to the fabric store to attempt to make a romper. We picked out green seersucker fabric and a pattern. The next few days we worked on the romper. Unfortunately the measurements were off and the shorts were too small.

Most evenings we just watched movies and caught up. I also started my summer reading this week. So far I enjoy it but its very difficult reading so I can only read a little at a time. I've been reading other books and making bracelets all summer too. It is very peaceful and calming to me to have a distraction like this. At the end of the week my aunt came and my cousin and I went shopping and out to dinner.

Saturday was my last full day in Denver and I spent the day packing and watching movies. Later we went to dinner and to see a Denver Outlaws Lacrosse game. It was so much fun. The professional men's lacrosse was much more similar to girl's lacrosse than high school boys lacrosse. It took a few minutes to get use to the rule changes, such as having a 60 second stop clock in which the team with possession had to shoot in that time.

The next morning I woke up and got ready to go to the airport. It was quite an adventure. My aunt drove 40 miles past the airport because her sense of direction is so bad! I had to rush to catch my flight to New Mexico. The flight was short and I talked with a nice woman from Seattle for the hour and 20 minute plane ride. My mom picked me up and we had to drive another 45 minutes home where I was surprised to see my grandparents waiting for me. They took me out for dinner after I unpacked. And now I am ready for my time in New Mexico to begin!
