We Went To Denver

We were able to got to Denver this at the end of September. It was so fun. My sisters were both there with their families. We have never all been together at the same time with all our kids. We had a great time. these pictures are not in the order they were taken on the trip, but that's ok. The first set are of us at the Littleton Historical Museum. It is a great (free) place to take the kids and let them just run around. It's a 1860's farm replica and a 1890's farm replica. I love it there. One night Steve's mom and dad made a little fire pit in their garden and we toasted marshmallows and had smores. The gluten-free bakery around the corner had gf graham crackers that allowed Tommy to have as much of a treat as everyone else. We also went to the Denver Zoo. I love this zoo. It has a great variety of animals, but it isn't so big that you can't see everything you want in one day. It was Amy's first time to a zoo since she was about 6 months old. She loved seeing the animals. Cindy and Steve also took the three older kids to the Cherry Creek Reservoir to go fishing. We practiced casting in the driveway first and even that was fun. I love my kids and how they love doing new things. Cindy also planned a treasure hunt for the kids complete with hidden map and buried treasure. Inside the treasure chest were lots of pirate dress-up stuff and even some wigs. The kids were adorable putting on all the gear.

The trip was great. The drive up and back was long, but the kids were so good we couldn't complain (much).
