+Denver Colorado+

Chris, Landon, mom, Travis and I all went on a short trip to Denver Colorado this last weekend. Trav's friend plays for the Colorado Rapids soccer team and they were playing against the Seattle Sounders so of course, Travis was dying to go see them play. Even though we just got home from Arizona, we decided to tag along. We left Friday after Chris got off work and came home Sunday. So, pretty much we only had Saturday to do fun things, it's about a 7 hour drive, and that's just what we did! As soon as we got to our hotel, around 10pm, we went for a quick swim and soak in the hot tub. Saturday morning, we ate breakfast and then headed to the aquarium downtown. It was probably the best that I have ever been to. They had everything from snapping turtles to Siberian tigers! Afterwards, we ate at the restraunt that was inside the place and it was awesome! Everywhere you sat you could see all kinds of fishes andsharks. Landon had a hard time sitting down and just eating-go figure! It was hard to get decent pictures inside since but here are some of the best.






Landon was really fascinated by all of the scuba divers. He kept pointing and making comments like "They getting Nemo!"


After Landon got to touch a starfish, he didn't want to go see anything else. Lucky for us, just around the corner was a pool full of string rays that you could "pet." Landon liked that as too!


Chris and I at our table in the restraunt. Notice my cool tatoo on my hand? We paid for Landon to get it done and he freaked out as soon as she was about to air brush the fish on his arm. Landon kept saying "Momma, you get it!" Sooo...I did.



Here is Landon trying to give the shark a high-five. A few minutes eariler, he gave a scuba diver a high-five and he thought that was pretty stinkin cool. These pictures were from inside restraunt too, by the way!



I think these pictures are so funny because he wouldn't go near the shark when we first got to the aquarium.


Later that night, we all went to the Rapids vs Sounders game. Even though they ended up tying, we had a really good time.
