Wyoming

The boulder Denver area were super hot and the sun was intense... So instead of going back to Denver to walk around we decided to drive up to Wyoming.








And since we missed the Colorado sign the first time, we stopped for our photo this time.






It was raining, so wecouldnt walk around really. Plus, it was Sunday and everything was closed!





Pronghorn!


Wyoming was quite beautiful and very secluded feeling.

Denver peoples fair

The 39th annual peoples fair!
Very fun, although we didn't buy any tickets for food because of the gluten abundance.







A funk band was playing in this shaded grove.

Fort Collins, Colorado

The day started off slow... Lots of movies, drawing, etc....

















Then we went to a traditional fish and chips place owned by an Australian guy....





He was very nice and the place was awesome, one room was painted with a under the sea mural with a huge wall of chalkboard.

Ira said no fish... We had to draw outer space and monsters.....











Liv's monster...





My monster...






We walked to get some ice cream and found this tree. It was dedicated to the korean war vets.

The plaque read:
"scion of the Washington oak at cambridge, Mass 1931."

It was a beautiful tree. Good for climbing.... Or at least it looked good for climbing, we didn't actually climb it.

Fun with friends

It's been great for all of us, here, with our awesome hosts. They have made us feel very much at home and the kids are having a blast being with other kids 24 hours a day.

Ira learned about the wii! She had never played a video game before. It took her ainute but she caught on fast.


















Then we went to oskar blues brewery/restaurant...soooo absolutely amazingly delicious.

The make their own root beer too- liv loooved it.








They had a horse shoe/ bocce ball pit out back, when they saw all of our kids they brought us a bunch of sand toys!!! What a change from anti children restaurants. Everything here so far has proved very family friendly.








These were empty beer cans with mardigras bead necklaces attached. The kids ate peanuts out of them....








Foosball(sp?) and shuffleboard were played...








Then we hit the park to soak up more of this beautiful evening...
Here is C holding liv- she's ten, and is so good with the kids. She even asked to wear liv in the mei tei!

















Then we walked home and the kids fell asleep "camping" in sleeping bags in the basement- Posted from my iPhone
