Denver

Ryleigh borrowed a lighter jacket from Brooke because the weather in Denver was 60 to 70s the whole week. It was fabulous. Ryleigh and Brooke are the same height, but Ryleigh is 6 months older. We have a shortie on our hands. Did you expect anything more?

The Denver Zoo was really fun. We saw tons of animals and McKenna was able to get some energy out by running around.

The Children's Museum was ok. It was mainly entertaining to McKenna only. If you have kids over the age of 5 or 6 or under 2, I wouldn't recommend it.

Ryleigh did like the magnetic letters. They reminded her of home and the dishwasher and fridge. She loves to take off the letters and have mom put them back on.

The Kids' Expo was interesting. They had a petting zoo, bounce houses, and lots of games. Ryleigh had her first dumdum lollipop. She enjoyed it. McKenna had trouble deciding what to do next. They have this huge blue bear standing on the outside of the building looking in.

On our last full day in Denver, we drove to Colorado Springs and visiting the Garden of the Gods. The rock formations were huge. We had a picnic lunch and strolled through the park. At one point, I was pushing McKenna in a stroller uphill. She is getting heavy or I am out of shape. Most likely the latter.

Our trip to Denver was great. We really appreciate Tracie and Troy for letting us crash at their place and introducing Dan to Ticket to Ride. He loved the game. Also, thanks to Tracie for being our chauffeur the whole week. McKenna was really sad coming home. She kept telling me she missed her Aunt Tracie. Ryleigh misses you too or at least Brooke's toys. What a little thief Ryleigh was. She kept stealing all Brooke's toys in the car. Now I have a little clue as to what she may be like as a big sister.

Mark your calendars... the big ultrasound is scheduled for April 8th in the morning.
