It has been a looong time since we've been to Elitch's, so when we heard Hubby's work was renting it out for the night we were pretty excited. This was D, M, and N's first visit and they loved it. We stayed until N was literally crying she was so tired. I couldn't believe my 8-year-old and 6-year-old braved the Boomerang coaster and Brain Drain with their daddy. I was more than happy to go on the littler rides with my younger children. Tea cups are more my speed when it's past bedtime. lol.
Our last trip to Denver for the month was for the Rockies fireworks game the children have been looking forward to all summer. We love being able to go on the field and sit on a blanket with an amazing fireworks show to watch after a year's best plays video. We had a harder time getting there than usual. Friday we got a flat tire on the mini van and N and I spent almost all afternoon in the tire store lobby. There was a nail by the rim that couldn't be fixed and I was told not to take the van on the highway. So, instead of picking Hubby up from work on the way to the game as planned, he drove home and we drove both our cars to my parents house so that we could leave the van and take my mom's car. So I drove the Matrix with two of the kids and H. drove the Passat with 2 kids and that's how we got to the baseball game -- during the 5th inning. Better late than never and still a great time!
