Memorial Day Weekend Trip to Denver/Fort Collins

Over Memorial Day weekend we decided to go up to visit Angela's sister Adrienne who lives in the Denver area and then to also visit her brother Alan who lives in Fort Collins. We did a lot of things in just a few days and felt like we needed a restful vacation after we got home. Here's Lucas showing off his skills eating cold cereal with a spoon. He's spilling some here as you can see the drips coming off his spoon (you may have to click on the photo to make it bigger).

Lucas loves to be pushed in the swing. His mom got him giggling here.

We went to the Denver Children's museum with Travis and Lucas' 6 cousins (Adrienne's 3 and Alan's 3). Here's Travis and Lucas in the firetruck with Abby.

Brian got Lucas to wear some fireman clothes for a minute to snap some photos. The clothes were a bit big!

Travis and Lucas enjoyed this little canoe that had a fishing pole to catch fish with the aid of Velcro.

Lucas loved the basketball court there. Here is Brian helping Lucas to dunk the basketball.

Brian and Travis made a train from recycled items and Travis enjoyed using those tools.

Travis' favorite place was the train area. He even wore the conductor's hat.

After the children's museum we rode a trolley to see some sights of downtown Denver. The cool thing about the trolley was that rather than turning around, the seats are reversible. So when you get to the end of the line you flip the seats and face the other way.

We then played on the playground. Here's cousin Abby holding Lucas for a ride down the slide.

Travis was brave enough to slide down the fireman pole by himself.

We then played train on the twisty slide. Brian held up all the kids halfway down. In the photo you can see cousins Christopher, Ryan, Carson, and Abby's hair.

The older kids enjoyed this tire swing until they got dizzy.

We then headed up to Fort Collins to stay with Alan's family. Here's Travis playing with Carson and Ryan. This was a train wreck caused by Carson (funny expressions on Travis and Ryan's faces)!
