It was another fabulous weekend spent in Denver - the weather even cooperated with blue, sunny skies and no rain! Just one of those perfect weather weekends!
I was glad to get out of work on Friday - it was more than busy that day and I was by myself so by the time 4:30 rolled around, I was OUT of there! Glenn decided to just meet me in Woodland Park so we could take right off - it's always a nice thought THINKING we might get to Denver earlier than usual but unfortunately on Friday late afternoon, traffic is downright horrible! We usually end up sitting on the interstate - so many times we'll eat in Co. Springs as we wait for the traffic to subside! This Friday was no exception - after seeing the standstill traffic on the interstate, we opted to take the back roads to Denver - it's a 2 lane highway with much less traffic and it's a pretty, country drive!
Saturday we headed to "Ocean Journey" - I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, the kids or the adults but it was a great time and the kids loved looking at all the fish and sharks and sting rays!
All 3 kids had their cheeks painted too and it was fun to watch their expressions!
At the end of the exhibit, there is a playground where you climb on the whale and the sharks and the kids had a blast running around and climbing on the different fish - we were the only ones in there which made for a great time!!
Saturday night Brad BBQ'd New York strip steaks for dinner - yum!! And Jessi had made an awesome peach dessert that we all devoured too - add a batch of yummy margaritas in the evening and peach fizzies during the afternoon and we all felt full and content!
Sunday the girls had a "Caribou Coffee" outing where we made a few plans for Christmas and attempted to plan a scrapbooking day sometime this fall! Time will only tell if we can make this happen!
After a trip to the park with all the kids, it was time to call it a weekend and head back to the mountains! Gosh these weekends with the grandkids are fun! And there's more to come as Jill and Aleah are heading to our house next weekend - we can't wait!
