1st (of many) Trip to Denver

The kids and I went to visit Shaun in Denver a week ago and had so much fun. It was so nice for the 4 of us to be together again. Oh, and I LOVE Denver. I might just move there while Shaun finishes his residency. Not really, but it's tempting. We did a lot of exploring and we can't wait to go back. Shaun will be there until the end of November so we have 2 more trips scheduled - over Halloween and Thanksgiving.

I drove with the 2 kids so I was a little nervous about that but it went pretty good. It took us a total of about 12 hrs with stops. We had 2 more stops than planned on the way there but on the way back we only stopped 3 times. Both kids did really well.

We went to Breckenridge and walked around to see all the shops and let Owen play for a little bit. It was a little windy and Stella wasn't too sure about that. It would take her breath away. Can you tell?
We also went to Estes park and the Rocky Mountains to see Bear Lake and drive up to the top. We saw some elk but they were pretty far away. They looked more like a moving spot than elk.
We also went to the Children's Museum. Owen got to use real tools with daddy. He was in heaven.
We also got to see some of our friends. It was so much fun and we can't wait to see them again. That's all for now and here's a pic of Stella at 3 months just because.
