Lexi Won't Drink LaCroix WaterOk, I know this post sounds sensational, but its not. It’s literal.

I bought a case of LaCroix flavored sparkling water either at Costco or Kroger, I can’t remember which. All it is, is lightly flavored sparkling water and I thought perhaps it might be a more healthy alternative to all of the Coke I drink.

The Beer Cannon

I have got to get me one of these…

First, the “documentary” portion of the show. In this video clip we learn about the history, construction and operation of the infamous beer cannon. It’s so cool that towards the end of the video you can see that the whole neighborhood has come out to see it in operation.

Denver Mountains
It’s easy to see why Denver and the surrounding areas keep getting voted among the “Best Places to Live”.

The area is surrounded by the eastern edge of the Rockie mountains - the very view that inspired the words to America the Beautiful (”…for purple mountains majesty…”).

And with a healthy respect for nature as well as a thriving economy, Denver is simply a great place to live or visit. In fact, in the 1990’s Denver grew by 30 percent - the equivalent of a thousand new residents a week, every week, for 10 years!

Boulder Colorado

IMG_2448.JPGIf I could only use one word to sum up Boulder, Colorado it would be “wow”! This is one of the most naturally pretty places I’ve ever been.

Normally, I think of beautiful cities as places with some natural beauty which has been improved by man. For example, San Francisco. But then there are places like Boulder which simply need no improvement.
