ROAD TRIP!!!

Well, in preparation for our big two-week adventure to Montana this summer, we decided to take a short road trip to Denver in mid-May. Stu was ending his compressed schedule at work at the end of May, so we took advantage of one of his 4 day weekends and hit the road. We were fortunate to have my cousin Sarah & her husband Peter as our gracious hosts, along with their "babies" Guinness the Mastiff & Roscoe the Black Lab. Guinness is truly one of the biggest animals I have ever seen up close, but Bryce & Drew loved him! The boys were thrilled to have dogs around to play with! (Little do they know that we are YEARS away from having one of our own!)

While in Denver we ate at the legendary Casa Bonita (complete with caves to explore & a cliff-diving show while you eat), hit Elitch Gardens amusement park for some rides, and explored the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. We were also thrilled to discover during this trip that Drew is totally able to climb out of his travel crib (& now the crib at home), so that opened another can of worms! Ah, life with a two & a half year-old.

Here are some highlights of our trip...


Drew takes a spin on the bumper cars.


Bryce doesn't like to brag, but he's pretty much a bumper car expert!


Drew had a blast in the foam ball play area.


Ridin' the rails.


According to Stu, I'm on this roller coaster somewhere. I think I was in the last car...


Love the carousel! (Although it's not as cool as the one in Missoula...)


Cool dinosaur in the lobby of the museum.


Houston, we have an astronaut-in-training.


Bryce poses near the moonscape.


Liftoff in 5...4...3...2...1...BLAST OFF!
