Denver

Last week we had the opportunity to go down to Denver to visit the Browers. We went down with Josh and Kim and then the Olsons and Rowes came down the next day. There were 10 adults and 6 children in the house together for like 5 days or so and I think everyone had a pretty good time. It was great being able to spend time with friends. The weather was beautiful! We were able to wear shorts and sandals almost every day and Atreyu loved being able to play outside all day long. On one of the first days, Annie, Kim and I took all the kids (minus the baby) to a park a few blocks away from Annie's house. All the kids seemed to have a fun time.

The following pictures are of Abby Rowe, Gage Brower, Atreyu and Izzy Rowe.





There were a few different evenings when Atreyu, Gage and Harrison Olson took baths together. They needed them almost everyday after all their hard playing outside.




One day, Annie took most of us to the dog park. It's this huge area where the dogs can run around and play with other dogs. There was a river/stream there that the kids loved playing in. Atreyu saw it and wanted to get in almost immediately. They played for a long time in the cold water. I'm thinking their feet and legs were probably numb and that's how they were able to stay in so long.





On our walk back from the river to the car, Atreyu had to walk without shoes and he and Gage held hands most of the way. They may be embarrassed when they are older and we bust out these pictures but aren't they cute?





On one of the last days, Annie and I were watching the kids while everyone else went out for a bit. Annie filled up this sandbox/pool thing with water and we got the kids undressed and let them play to their hearts content. It was so cute and they all loved it!




It was so nice to take a little vacation especially since the weather was so wonderful. It was kind of sad to come home to cold weather but the snow has melted here and spring is starting earlier than normal. I am so grateful to have such great friends that we love so much!
