A busy, busy weekend

We took a little trip to Denver over the Memorial holiday weekend because the Jr's were moving into a new house and we wanted to help out. So, while they were busy hauling boxes, moving heavy furniture, etc. Curt and I took the kiddies to do a few activities of our own

Our first day we headed out to the Zoo, it was such a grand idea we soon discovered EVERYONE else in Denver had the same grand idea! We changed our Plan A to Plan B and hit the Science Center instead. Once inside Berlynn and Ezra manned the Control Center and we blasted off into space - Once on the moon, Berlynn tried her hand at moving the moon rocks (including commentary)
So did astronaut Ezra
back on earth - we headed into the pre-historic era and excavated for dinosaurs

The kids were even captured by Pirates

but after paying a heafty "ransom" to get these two back we were on to other activities...
like watching DVD's in bed - Mainly this one (over and over) While munching on popcorn - Other activities consisted of swimming, shopping, playing at the Hotel and entertaining ourselves how ever we could!

On Memorial Day we headed over to the Downtown Aquarium Can you see the sea otter?
Get a load of this 400 LB Grouper, it was HUGE! They said this species of Grouper can get up to 1,000 LBs! Oh my goodness -
The Denver Aquarium has Mermaids, yep - 3 of them


Look who popped up in the shark tank!
Berlynn loves to show everyone the "fish with one eye!"
See...
where's Nemo????
Can you tell what Ez is standing on?
This fella -
There were beautiful jelly fish -
and lots of moon jelly fish
Oh, the Mermaids made an appearance on land -
Our very handsome Nixon -
Berlynn even got a Mermaid painted on her cheek!
Ez loved chasing the big bubbles from the bubble machine
while Berlynn made friends with this creature
All while their amazing parents (tired as they were from moving), ran the Boulder Boulder 10K (can you spot them?) Thanks for the fun weekend, and have fun in your new home!
