Colorado Day Six

This day, we drove to Denver. We wanted to head to Estes Park or the Rocky Mountain National Park, but we really didn’t have enough time. (Drat! We will just have to come back. Ha!) Our first stop was lunch at Casa Bonita. I guess TJ and his family has been there before quite a few years back. We also walked around downtown a little and saw the Capitol with the step that is exactly one mile above sea level. After finding a hotel, we headed back to go to the Colorado Rockies game against the San Francisco Giants. It really was a nice stadium with a great view of the mountains. It was a little challenging with the girls, but we still had a fun time and left early to get to BED!

Casa Bonita

Jaylyn being silly again.


And again.


At this restaurant, they have a cliff/stage with a waterfall down into a pool of water. They do these short little skits and one of the characters ends up diving down into the water. They do juggling and the diver also went around climbing all over the rocks and doing different dives from different places. This is the best picture I could get of the cliff/stage and waterfall. It is pretty dark in there. The girls enjoyed it. Especially the silly skit with the gorilla, who happened to jump across the water from the stage to our table. Praise the Lord we didn't go there a year or more ago or Jaylyn would have jumped out of her skin and on top of my head!


The girls at the fountain outside Casa Bonita.


This is the step at the Capitol Building that says "One mile above sea level".


Here is a picture of Coors Field- obviously. :)


The skyline was beautiful with the mountains.


So pretty.


Adley enjoyed herself. She may have had too much Sprite because suddenly she was SO HYPER!!


The Rockies weren't doing so well.


Jaylyn also enjoyed the game - mostly asking me constantly when she could have cotton candy. (Thank you Nana and Poppy for starting that. Ha!) We finally told her when we left we would get her some. So, then she said, "I think this is a perfect time to leave."


Nice sun set!


TJ and Leighton hanging out. She spent the whole walk to the stadium and most of the game with her head turned out backwards to see EVERYTHING. We also ended up behind another baby in line who was born two days before Leighton.


It was an enjoyable game, but we certainly did not stay the whole time. :) I was ready for bed after that game.

Jaylyn's comment was priceless! It is always the perfect time to leave when cotton candy is at the end of the road! :)
