Spring Break Trip!

Well, we are back! We had a fabulous time. We are so thankful that we had a safe and good time.

We went to the Denver Museum of Natural History. This is such a great museum We use to take our kids there when we lived up in Colorado. But had not taken our younger 3. They have tons of Animal Dioramas. These are some of my favorites. It's amazing to see how big some of these animals really are. And a little terrifying to see the black bears and Mountain lions! ( If you know me at all, you'll get this :) )

Unfortunately there were atleast 10 school buses in the parking lot and only a couple places to park in the parking garage! So it was packed! But we survived and still managed to enjoy it! We also saw an IMAX film while at the museum. It was on the Eiger in the Alps. Stunning! I can not believe people are able to climb this mountain face! When we were hiking in the flatirons on Saturday Little A asked if this was as steep as the Eiger. MMmmm .... Probably not :). But the hiking was a blast. It was really windy when we started down in the open. The wind was so crazy. You could hear the gusts coming and Little A would run to me and I would have to hold onto her. It would actually start to pick me up a little. And then the wind would bring rocks and gravel with it and it would hit the back of our legs and sting really bad. But you know it is all part of the experience and we had so much fun! Once we got into the mountains we were sheltered enough that it was wonderful. The kids did great!

We swam lots in the hotel. So much fun!

And if you know Colorado this next one will not be hard to believe.. We woke up to snow on Sunday morning before we left. Ahhh .. Colorado.. You've got to love it! And we definately do. As Double A says, "It is part of me, I belong here." We all love Boulder! It is Gorgeous there! How could you not?

The car rides there and back were great. We played lots of games and asked "Are we almost there?" probably 1000 times. But hey, it is all part of the experience and I loved every minute of it.

Unfortunately Tiny A got what I had on Easter. She threw up all the way home. I am grateful that I was sick now, because I knew exactly how she was feeling and what to expect. Poor little thing. Atleast she is able to communicate with us now. So every hour or so we would hear a little one saying, " Momma, Need bag I'm going to throw up." We didn't always get the bag to her quick enough but it definately helped. But on the bright side, Her car seat now is sparkling clean. It needed a good washing anyway, this just got me on the job a little sooner than later.

We hope you all had great spring breaks!
