Ride-a-Kart Fun

We had a GREAT evening Saturday night in Estes Park. First of all, we were super happy when Aunt Janell and Uncle Jacob finally arrived--they have their own story to tell there, but they got to see a lot of scenery on the way to Estes, including some moose! Saturday night was both kids' favorite night and Layne said it was his too! We started out with a BBQ meal at Smokin' Dave's BBQ-we had to wait awhile for our meal, but it was SO worth it. Before the meal we headed over to the little amusement park in Estes and played a round of putt-putt golf, then we headed out to eat BBQ and came back later to do in the rest of the amusement park! Lots of smiles and fun this night!

Brynn was a great cheerleader and was watching her Daddy close to learn all about golf!

This is how Brynn chose to golf--hacking the ball--we still have some golf learning to do here!

Caden made it in the hole!

After dinner--the "kids" did bumper boats--they had the whole pond to themselves and enjoyed every minute of it!

Caden's highlight of the evening was bumper cars--he was old enough to drive a car himself and he was in HEAVEN--big grin on his face the whole time to, no matter how many times he got bumped because he was doing a lot of bumping himself!
We also all rode go-carts and had fun racing--plus the bonus side was we had to wait at the most 5 minutes in line the whole night and several items we did had no line at all--a big plus when you have a 2 and a 4 year old!

Caden and Brynn ended the night on a little train ride!

Brynn (and daddy) convinced all of us we needed icecream so away we went to the malt shop which a good friend of mine from college had introduced me to--it has changed a bit since my college days but still very good!

The malt shop had fun wooden horses to ride on while you waited for your malts or icecream--say "cheese" Brynn, Caden, and Aunt Janell!
We ate our icecream and walked a few blocks around town and called it a day!
