Our last weekend in Boulder was very busy. We spent Saturday on the Mark & Mandy Tour™ of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. That was a lot of fun. We saw Tundra, elk, a marmot and a warble. (we didn't really see a warble. That's just a word we made up cos all the others sound like they're made up words)
On Saturday night, 53000 people went to a college football game and so we decided to go too. The home team lost however their enthusiasm was probably about ten times that of an AFL team crowd on grand final day. A little bit scary really- especially considering they only scored one touchdown. After 1 hour of game time and three hours of who knows what, all 53004 people went home to bed.
Sunday was out last day in Boulder and Monday was real sad as we had to say 'Thankyou!" and "Seeya later!" to Mark and Mandy.
This blog is being posted in Dallas where we're staying with our friends Jenni and John. John's a local and Jenni's an Adelaide girl. Jenni was born on the 18th of September. Happy Birthday Jenni!
Today we went to check out downtown Dallas. It´s a pretty run of the mill US city except for the morbidly obese preachers that evangelise on the public transport system, the custom made cowboy boot stores and the infamous grassy knolls/sixth floor windows.
Wow, that was the longest post ever.

Hi TomKaz
We love checking out your latest blogs, the photos are fantastic. Still waiting for the one of Tom in his brand spakin' purple pants - go Austin!
Miss ya/Love ya
Yvette and Anthony
Hey Tommy and Karen!! I finally get to write a message to you! It's been great checking up how you're going - like all your arty farty photos tommy!
Well, I was going to inform you Karen about the finale of 'Big Love' you missed out on, although now it's been so long that I forgot what happened. Oh, and the opera at uni - you didn't miss out at all - I didn't get to perform so no bad luck there! I was quite releived not to be in it because it was so disorganised. By the way, Grace is doing well, she's a little piggy-la-la and weighs eight pounds now. I hope you're both keeping well. Love ya,
Yay...so many comments!
Mandy - we saw Buffs at the zoo in Mexico and thought of the one at the football!
Liz - that is so exciting. Congratulations. I hope you, Steven, Ryan and Josh are all healthy and I hope Ryan is enjoying a brand new playmate!
Anthony & Yvette - glad you're still with us. Thought you might have given up on the blog after the entries stopped being so regular! A photo of the purple pants might require me to get behind a camera...which is not really my strong point! But I'll try.
Em & Ben - no worries about the Big Love finale. I might save it up and watch some episodes when I come home! I can't believe you didn't get to perform. That sux. Sounds like it was all a little bit crappy. Glad Grace is well. If you have any photos you can email, we'd love to get them. Lots of love to everyone there!
