10. Go to the Denver Aquarium

At the Denver Aquarium with some friends...
Andrew, Janessa, Liam, Lars & Crystal

We went to the Denver Aquarium with some friends from out east, Eastern Colorado that is. We wandered through the exhibits and saw some pretty cool aquatic life. One fish of note was a tire tread eel. This was interesting because we got to see a full grown one at the aquarium, and if you've seen our small fish tank you know we recently got a tire tread eel, and he's about 10 inches long at this point. Anyway, the full grown one we saw was easily over two feet long and was quite thick, further research showed they can top out at about 38 inches, and we realized "we're gonna need a bigger tank!" After the aquarium we took a brief walk down to the platte river, followed by a small lunch at Lola'a for happy hour where crayon wars ensued. As we left Crystal saw a small ice cream stand, and of course we had to stop.
