Labor Day '09


We decided to actually get out and do something for Labor Day so we started out going to the Denver Zoo. Ha Ha, there were a million people there, and we couldn't find a place to park. We scratched that plan and got some lunch at Griff's, the one on Broadway that looks exactly like the one in Arvada, crazy, then we decided to try Bellview Park. The girls, uncle Chris, and I had been gone a couple of times this summer, Chad's dad works practically down the street, so he'd come spend his lunch hour with us. Anyways, it's a very cool park, they have a little train that circles the park, a petting zoo, and a cool creek that the kids love to play in. This particular day we avoided the water (I didn't bring extra clothes or towel since the original plan was the other zoo!) Then Kate fell asleep in the car, so I wanted to stop by Joann's to get some supplies for the quiet book I'm making the girls, you know to let her get a good nap! They were having some smoking sales so I couldn't pass it up! After that Sam's then home for a BBQ dinner...yum! I wish Chad could have more holidays off, I sure like hanging out with that crazy guy!

Schnepf Farms

Posted by Picasa
Well, I figured it's been a while since I last posted, so slowly but surely I will get all the summer posts together! I'm going to go backwards, the girls and I just got back from Arizona, so this will be first. We went to Schnepf Farms on Thursday, it's near my sister and parents houses in Queen Creek. It was fun, but I think it would be more fun when my little ones are a bit older. They had little carnival type rides, a carousel, petting zoo, and pig races! Right when we walked in they had a guy doing face painting too, the kids looked pretty cute with them on! It ended up being about 95 degrees, so mom, me, and my two girls didn't stay too long. The Packers stayed a little later. Then later we had a big girls afternoon. We saw Bright Star, very good, but a little depressing. After the movie we went to Savers to lighten our spirits! It was a fun busy day!
