Denver: Having Lunch & Playing in the Snow

We got to eat at this cute little burger place called Runway Grill that was on a runway!

Such a ham

Jacob playing in snow (what was left of it) for the first time




Micah and I had never experienced snow. We enjoyed playing in that for the first time together.

Micah making a snowball without gloves (he regretted that)



He regretted this too



I said don't do that!


Hit by my very first snowball


Getting ready to fall in the snow

So cold!


And wet!



Getting hit again by a snowball



Hit yet again


This is getting old

Denver: My Gym

We visited the gym a couple of times while we were in Denver. Jacob had a blast playing and even got to attend a class. He loved it!

Aquarium in Denver

To continue our Denver story, we pick up on our first day there . . .

Once Little Man was awake from his afternoon nap, we headed to the aquarium. It was so much fun. I had been to a similar one in Atlanta, but it was so different having Jacob with us and trying to get him to understand and see all of the fish. He seemed to really enjoy it. He has learned how to point and man did he point at all the fish.

After walking through the entire aquarium, we ate dinner at a restaurant there. That was fun. We got to watch the fish and sharks as we ate seafood! We then headed home (we stopped to pick up some snow in the parking lot on our way back to the car. We Floridians can't miss an opportunity to play with snow!), put Jacob to bed and then played Rock Band, but that story and pictures to come later...Enjoy the pictures of the aquarium!

Our Trip Out to Denver & Playing in the Snow

We had a great time in Denver. Jacob did pretty good on the flight, but I don't think I'll fly with a 13-month-old again. Our flight was delayed and all he wanted to do is to crawl around the airport and all Mommy wanted him to do is to sit in his stroller. When we finally got on the plane, Jacob went to sleep pretty fast, but then he woke up screaming, went back to sleep, then woke up screaming and stay awake for the last hour of the flight.

Juli and Thomas were so excited to see us. We went back to their house and went straight to bed. Thankfully, Jacob slept in in the morning and didn't get up until 9am Denver time (11am our time)! That first day we didn't do much. We just hung around their house and rested. When Juli and Thomas came home after work (mid-afternoon), Micah and Thomas played in the snow and we waited for Jacob to wake up....Enjoy the pictures of our trip to Denver and playing in the snow.



Adam says that it is too hard sometimes for old computers to pull up the picture slide show, so I just put them on Facebook instead; click the link below to see MORE pictures than I posted here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=96291&l=13237&id=533066390

No Denver Pictures Yet...

... 'casue I choose the Wii over putting up pictures. Adam bought us a Wii and Wii Fit last weekend while I was gone and I'm having a blast playing it. I was huffin' and puffin' after hoola hooping and now I'm working on the soccer game (on the Wii Fit) and have improved my score from 11 points to over 100. Back to the game. I have to figure out a way to beat Adam's 300+ points! Pictures hopefully tomorrow...

Back from Denver

We are back from Denver! Jacob and I had a blast (and I have the 1100 pictures to prove it!). I have lots of stories and pictures to share and will get them up as soon as possible.

We are glad to be home, but are missing Thomas and Juli already. =(
