Baby Squirrel Cuteness

So we're in Denver on vacation—one of the best cities in the US—and we decided to do a little recon in some of the neighborhoods, since we want to eventually move here.

We checked out the Cheesman Park area yesterday, which has a HUGE park in the center, and came across this little fella (or lady) on our walk.

I've never seen a baby squirrel before (no, this wasn't a chipmunk, I checked). It was not afraid of us, which I was partly happy about because I didn't want it getting scared into the street, but I was a little concerned with how trusting it was.

It even climbed on to Ray's foot and hung out for a little bit, very curious. It made little chittering noises the entire time, and came over to me when I squatted down to say hello.

Before we left, the squirrel climbed up a tree where it's sibling was taking a nap in the crook of a tree limb. The 2 climbed towards each other and hung out on the side of the tree, looking at us and each other. A very cool part of our day (I'm easy to please).

Views of Buffalo's outskirts

Here are just a few panoramic photos I pulled together using the iPhone app AutoStitch. It's pretty snazzy, and easy to use, which is always a plus


This is Rach's backyard. Makes me want to find a place outside of Buffalo and settle down.


Taste in East Aurora. Possibly one of the coolest coffee/sandwich/baked good shops. If you order food, you receive a laminated card with a celebrity's name on it. Then when the food is ready, the counterhelp call out "Harrison Ford! Come on down!" Rach was Harrison (she had apple pie) and I was Catherine Zeta Jones (chocolate and peanut butter pate). Totally kitsch.
