Denver

Monday morning we woke up to crazy hair and fun times on the Ipad! I love our Ipad but how sad is it that my 4 year old and 2 year old fight over who gets to use it! The joys of technology!
Girl time on the couch.

Cleaning out the fridge--ice cream for breakfast--why not--we are on vacation!

Cool shades before we hit the road!

We arrived in Denver and had a quick lunch at McDonald's before heading to the Denver Zoo.

The first animal display--I can't even remember what that is!

The lions looked impressive on their rocks.

The giraffe's--oh the giraffe's--cute little giraffe posed just right for a picture while Mama and Papa giraffe were busy entertaining the crowd--there were lots of pictures and video-taping going on in the crowd and we got quite the giraffe education--the rest of the story will have to be told in person!

Daddy and the kids took a little train ride.

Some drum time in the Gorilla section.

All of us at the Denver Zoo--it was great to see a different zoo--loved seeing seal lions and polar bears!
We were all tired afterwards, but decided to give Casa Bonita a whirl for supper!
My good college friend Amber meet us there, so we all ate way too much Mexican food and watched a few diving shows! Caden loved it and Kristi and Janell were super Aunts and took him down to watch each show! I think we all would have enjoyed it a little more if we could have snuck a nap in, but it was still a fun environment to eat and be entertained!
Amber, Janell, and Jake all headed to their own homes that night and the rest of us stayed in a hotel on the outside of Denver! Caden and I went swimming for a bit, and then we all crashed for the night!
The next day, the hotel had an amazing breakfast buffet, so we pigged out, took a walk, and started back to KS. The closer we got the higher the temperature got--welcome home!
Colorado--always proves to be cooler and a wonderful vacation spot--we promise to go back!
