Visit from Mom & Jan

My Mom and sister-in-law Jan came to visit me this last week. We have had so much fun. I wish they could stay longer but they need to get back to Utah. This is a bit picture heavy but we had so much fun I wanted to share everything.

Denver Zoo
They arrived on Tuesday afternoon so we didn't do much on that day. On Wednesday we went to the Denver Zoo. Dave took the day off and we spent the day bumming around with the animals. I will admit, I got really sick but we still had fun even though I was a bit out of it. When we got home we played some card games and Isaac pushed the little girls on the swings in the back yard.










Lee Martinez Farm
On Thursday the kids had their last day at Riffenburgh (there home school activities at public school). So we took the opportunity to do something that the little kids would like. The city has a public farm you can go visit. It is has a museum and little store. The kids loved seeing the animals. It was small so we didn't spend to much time there which was good because they were starting to get cranky and hungry by the time we left.



Fish & Chips
My Mom promised to get us Fish & Chips when she came to visit. We went for lunch after the farm because it is much less busy and because the other kids don't care for it as much as I do. I am mostly putting this in so my brother and Dave's sister will come and visit so they can get authentic Fish & Chips.



Park
The last day (Friday) we decided to go to the park and play in the water. Spring Canyon park is a newer park here in Fort Collins but it has a water area a lot like liberty park. It also has an awesome playground area. We spent a couple of lazy hours sitting on a park bench watching the kids play. It was so much fun. We then came back and had popsicles and Dave cooked up some food on the grill. It was the perfect ending to a awesome visit. Thanks for coming Mom and Jan - We Love You!
