OUR TRIP TO THE MILE HIGH CITY

Denver, Colorado

March 19-22, 2004

We wanted to take a weekend trip and had planned on going down to St. George, but when Chandler called his Parents to see if we could go down, we found out that his Dad was sick with the flu so we decided to go somewhere else.  Since we had been to Las Vegas several times we opted for something new.

Our Friends Niclas and Cindy often head on over to Denver to watch the Nuggets and the Avalanche play and had said it was a great place to go and visit.  Since Kim had a friend now living there we thought hey what the heck let's check it out......

 

Here are the photos of the things we did while visiting the Mile High City:

 

These Photos are our little adventure sneaking into the aquarium.  Ocean Journey.  Mike's roommate is the security guard there and he let us come in and take a look around after hours...It was totally awesome and we really appreciated it thanks Dan!

The Next Day we went to the Denver City Zoo it was really cool, we had a great time and the kids all loved it.  Chandler's favorite thing at the Zoo was the reptile house and Ethan loved Bird World as for the rest of us I think we were just happy to be there....

This was the Animal nursery.

There was only 3 baby goats in there, the kids were kinda sad about that and wondered why we took them to the Zoo to see Goats.
