Grandma Sue's Visit

I promise that we did spend a lot of time with the other kids but either they were at school while we went and did things or the pictures we took of them didn't turn out.

My parents came over labor day weekend to see our new place. It was so much fun, we had a great time. We went to old town and walked around, we took the younger kids to build-a-bear (my mom takes all the kids when they are about 4 because decided to both Joe and Clara at the same time). We went to the Denver Zoo and my dad took the older kids around to look at most of the animals while my mom and I took the younger kids to the carousel. We had a fantastic time. Having visitors for us was great, it wasn't any inconvenience at all and the kids just loved having people they loved in the home. I hope others take this as a hint and decide to come out and visit us.
Joe got a Zebra that is dressed like a Jedi (they didn't have a jedi costume. He has a white shirt and a vest - Joe didn't care he just wanted a jedi). He named him Stripes the Zebra. Clara got a dog named Hannah Banana that she dressed to look like a princess. They really love their animals.

This was us in Old Town Fort Collins. It is a cute little walkable area in downtown Fort Collins. I think my parents were pleasantly surprised. We didn't get to spend a lot of time down there because we had to get back and pick up Joe from school. I am hoping that we can go spend more time the next time they come to visit.
This cute little bear is in Old Town. They have statues of a whole bunch of different animals, along with a fountain and kids water area.

This was at the Denver Zoo. The carousel was so much fun. The younger kids didn't get a chance to see many animals but they didn't care because they got to ride on this. It's to bad that mom had the camera or maybe we would have some pictures of Lily & Isaac too. My mom felt so bad that I took a whole bunch of them the next time to try to make up for it.

Mom - just remember that you had the camera, dad didn't. It not any one's fault we didn't get pictures of the older kids. They know you love them.
