Denver

We loaded the kids up and drove the 9 hours to the National Western Stock Show in Denver. While there we enjoyed the more mild weather and took in some of the local sights.
eating alfresco at Chipotle- they gave us a free meal since it was our first timeswimming at the hotel, always a favorite
Denver Temple and visitor annexDinosaur Ridge where Hudson could show off some of his knowledge he's been accumulating from Dinosaur Train- therapods and carnivores.
Sissy was delighted with the pink stegosaurus
Free day at the zoo on MLK day, really a zoo!
Tour of Hammonds Candies and candy shop
Denver Mint- where the government makes cents!
Hudson proudly displaying his new pair of spurs he got at the stock show.
If you ask him, it was the best day ever and his favorite part of the trip.
Glo-sticks, a must have for the end of a long road trip.
Entertaining and educational- guess the letter or number.

Sounds like a fun trip! Glad that you got to try Chiptole. Now you just have to try Five Guys! :)

PS My favorite is Hudson's expression at the candy shop.

Only thing better than Chipotle is free Chipotle! :)

I'm with Chris on the PS. That kid's a goof.

Did H get jingle bobs to take his spurs to the next level? I hear it's what all the cool kids do.

We love Dinosaur Train at our house too...it appears to be universally appealing. Had no idea there were taranadons (or however the heck you spell it). Also, we got "the Dinosaur Game" at Christmas which has also been a favorite.

Karisa,

I finally remembered to put your blog on my google reader! I love your posts. We are definitely jealous of your recent fun trip! My sister might be moving to Denver, so we may be making that 9 hour trip in the coming years...
