Thursday morning we went to a park. Rex had a phone interview with some place (sometimes I lose track with all his phone interviews, hopefully something will come through soon). We then went to the Children’s Museum when it opened. It was a nice museum, but the Gateway Children’s Museum in Salt Lake is so much bigger and has a lot more to do. The boys still had fun. We spent a couple hours there. They had a bubble room. This is the boys inside a big bubble.
They had a room with trains and tracks to connect together and build, which Ian loved. They also had a little market area.
They had a room that had all sorts of things to climb and go in.
We then went to eat. We saw the missionaries at Burger King and talked to them for a few minutes. We then headed into downtown Denver. We went to the state capital building and toured it. We got inside just in time to miss the downpour. We went up to the Dome.
They were doing some scaffolding work on the outside.
There are different mile high markers on the steps outside because different groups of people got different measurements. Ian did not want to get out of the stroller at this point, but Jaiden was glad to.
We wanted to tour the US Mint but didn’t know that you have to schedule your tour like 2 months in advance.
We walked down part of the 16th Street Mall (outdoors). It was crowded (not used to big cities anymore, I like small towns). There were pianos every few blocks for people to play.
We then headed north to St Vrain State Park to camp for the night. It was pretty windy at first and almost slept in the back of the truck, but it eventually died down. I made pizza in our dutch oven. St Vrain is just outside a city and right off the highway, so you could here the traffic all night.
Friday morning, we had breakfast, Rex tried fishing (didn’t catch anything), and packed up. We then headed a little more north and then west. We were high up in the mountains. The highest elevation was around 10,000 feet. There was quite a bit of snow still up there. We went down a little bit (and out of the snow) to State Forest State Park. We found a campsite and set up. We walked around a little. Rex fished some. After we started dinner, a ranger came up to us and said that someone had reserved the site we were at, they had just missed marking it, so could we please move a few camp sites down. We moved, with the help of people around. The ranger did get us some free bundles of fire wood. We had dinner. It started to rain, so we all decided to go to bed early. I woke up at 8:30, with the tent dripping and soaking our blankets. I woke up Rex and we hurried and packed everything in the car and headed home. We got home at 11 that night.
