The Rest of Our Visit

I don't even know where to begin. We did so many things when Conny, Jacob and Olivia were here. We went to the pool a couple of times and on Sunday we went to Heritage Square in Golden to ride the alpine slides and amusement park rides. During the week, we went to the Children's Museum, the Wildlife Experience, Pirates Cove water park, Washington Park for a bike ride, and a bakery to decorate cupcakes. The kids had a great time and Ryan cried all the way home from the airport when we dropped them off.

Dancing at the Children's Museum - the tap shoes were the best part.

Luke, my little scientist. He really liked the bubble exhibit.


Ryan loves to blow the bubbles.

I love this picture that Jacob painted.

Silly boys. These 3 feed off of each other and it turns into crazy boy chaos (Olivia retreated upstairs a few times to have some quiet time to herself).



All the kids loved Greg's nightly bedtime story.

We went to Washington Park one day and Conny and I bicycled these 4 large kids around the park. It was pretty funny and the kids had a good time. Conny had to get out and push us up any kind of hill, but as long as it was flat, it was fine - we made it around the park twice.

Greg and Luke on the way up to the alpine slide. Ryan rode with me and loved it.

Conny and Olivia heading down. Olivia was so scared to go up on the chairlift and then down the slide, but she loved it and it was one of her favorite things the whole trip.

Cupcake decorating. I must say that Luke was really pretty good. He was great at using the star tip. I will also say that next time, we'll do this at home, but I was feeling lazy and liked the idea of a bakery that will do all of this for you and then clean it up.



The annual Children's Museum picture along with the ones from the last 2 years.

Last - a video of Luke from a nearby park. We went to play on the cool playground and water features and he loved this. Ryan tried it out as well but he flew off and landed on his head, so he is not a fan.
