A few weeks ago, we went to Denver and Fort Collins for 6 days. Dallas had to go for work so me and the kids took the week off of school and made a Vacation out of it. Too bad Dallas had to spend most of the time in class. The kids had fun though! We went to Denver first and spend a night with Chris and Staci. While we were there, we went to the Denver Zoo for a day.
The kid’s favorite part was feeding the birds. I took my old camera and the battery died really fast so I didn’t get too many pictures but better some than none!
We got to see baby Camden too! He sure is a cutie!
Next- we moved on to Fort Collins where we basically had a repeat of last Year’s trip there. The kids painted ceramics again. I need to get a picture of the final product- they turned out pretty cute!
We went shopping in the “Old Town” which is always fun. the kids had fun looking for souvenirs, playing the piano in the street, and we of course had to go to our favorite place- The Silver Grill Café and get some of their cinnamon rolls. Best cinnamon rolls ever!
Of course the kids picked out a stuffed animal. Mackenzie got a giraffe, Gavin got a snake, and of course Avery got a monkey. Mackenzie and Gavin hadn’t picked theirs yet at the time we were taking pictures. Avery took hers everywhere we went!
The kids love this painted horse. I was taking a picture of the kids and a photographer that works for National Geographic stopped and offered to take one for me. 
Then it was Chuck-E-Cheese’s for dinner!
The kids wanted to go back to the Swetsville Zoo as well. Avery still didn’t like it. She was scared of the “monsters”.
We spent a lot of time shopping, then went to the park so the kids could burn off some energy!
When Dallas got out of class, we went miniature Golfing. It was lots of fun!
Then it was on to the super slide. Avery wanted to go up until we got to the top, then she changed her mind! But- I figured it would be easier to drag her down the slide then it would be to carry her back down the stairs. She screamed the whole way! 
Mackenzie and Gavin loved it though!
Most of our evenings were spent in the swimming pool. They couldn’t get enough of it! One night we did go to see a movie in 3D because Dallas and I had never seen one. Sad huh! 
Avery loving her monkey- She named it Tinkerbell’s heart. She gave me quite the scare while we were there. She had had strep before we went then the first night we were there, she ended up with a croupy cough. She coughed and cried all night. So I stopped and picked up some cough medicine and some chewable Tylenol before we went to the hotel. She never needed it. After that first night, she didn’t cough again. It was weird. Anyhow, the second day, I had gotten in the shower and the kids were laying on the bed watching tv. I came in and Avery showed me a handful of tylenol and told me she was saving them for later. I took them from her, dumped out the bottle, and figured out that she had taken 13 of them. I panicked and called poison control and after being asked about a million questions, I was told she would be okay. She had taken 60% of what would be a harmful dose. Thankfully, she didn’t need to go to the hospital. So much for child-proof lids!
