Denver

James had a 3 week conference in Denver (yes you read correctly). We, as a family, decided to join him and off we went to have an extended stay in Denver Colorado. We had a lot of fun and did so many things. Here are quite a few photos of what we were up to on our 3 week vacation:


The city was so beautiful! There were a lot of fun sculptures everywhere. The kids loved seeing the big blue bear looking through the window.


We were able to visit Jason, Kelly and little baby Graycen in Colorado Springs. They have the perfect location. We watched to office, went out to eat, played on the lake, and got to visit. Then they came to visit us in Denver. We went out to Maggiano's....it was soooo good. Thanks guys. You're the best!!

We went to the Denver Zoo...a lot. The kids loved seeing all the animals...especially the Polar Bear, Gorillas, Penguins, Sea Lions, Tiger, Lion, and Elephants. They had it all.


Everyday we went to 16th Street to have lunch with James. I heart 16th street.


The Dragon Boat Races at Sloan Lake were pretty cool. There were a lot of teams and A LOT of vendors. They were super fast and the kids had fun at the park.
City Park is humongous. It's home to the zoo, electric fountain, bridges, more fountains, and museums. We could have easily spent days just at this park.

We also spent a lot of time at Elitch Gardens (formerly known as Six Flags). Maylee was fearless and Talon just wanted to shoot people in the foam ball arena. We watched the laser show and saw some fireworks. It was great!

We had so much fun, but it was nice to come back home to all our wonderful friends and family. It felt like Christmas again when the kids rediscovered their toys at home. We would definately love to visit Denver again.
