In the spring we reserved a site at the Molly Brown campground and were so excited to go over Labor Day weekend -- the last hurrah for the camping trailer before winterization. Events the first week of September told me K needed some time alone with me instead of camping. So, Hubby took D, M and N off for the weekend while K and I stayed home. She had her choice of pretty much anything she wanted to do in and around Denver. Know what she picked? Swimming at her friend's apartment complex pool, eating at Noodles and Company, and watching movies. Yup. I arranged for her pool play date, took her out to eat, and introduced her to Jurassic Park -- my favorite movie of the weekend. I'm still amazed at the staying power of a movie that I enjoyed as a kid! We also watched movies we knew the rest of the family wouldn't like -- mostly Disney Channel musicals. Our list included Teen Beach Movie 2, High School Musical 2, and she watched Camp Rock & Camp Rock 2 for the first time. K has now added a Jonas brother to her list of crushes. lol. Here's a picture of us eating at Noodles after swimming:
Meanwhile, the rest of the family loved being by the lake and when it rained a lot Hubby took them to the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum in Leadville. They loved it! The children were able to tell me all about the mine they saw, dioramas, and minerals. When they saw an old mining car N remembered she hadn't been tall enough to ride the Seven Dwarves Mine Train ride at Disney World 5 months ago. Now they all want to go back to Florida. Oh my goodness, I love them so. Although I had a great, relaxing time with K, it was great to see my wonderful husband and my 3 little ones walk in that door smelling like campfire smoke and gleeful to tell me all about their camping trip. I am one lucky momma. Here are some pictures Hubby texted me while he was away:
