VACA to Denver

So this last week we were able to take a vacation to Denver! I usually visit Denver a couple times a year by myself to visit my family and such but it is my favorite when Bridger comes along! :) He was able to take a week of vacation, so to Denver we went. To kick off the week we went to a Rockies game. Here is us at the entrance of Coors Field. It was a perfect way to start our week. We got hot dogs and enjoyed watching the Rockies try to win... but they lost! Shoot...

It was super hot that day, which didn't compliment our black Rockies t-shirts very well. We were drenched in sweat.. YUCK :).
To make the experience all that it needed to be my mom surprised us with a bag of cracker Jack's. (We had peanuts too). This was Bridger's prize in the bottom.. he doesn't look too excited about it ha. Oh and they caught us on TV!!!! Best Rockies game ever! :)
Here's the group. My wonderful Dad, Mom, Me and Bridger. The whole clan.
Monday- the fourth of July. We went to see Transformers in the morning, which we enjoyed, then hung out the rest of the day until the evening where we were able to go have dinner with my sister-in-law and her adorable son. We came back to my parents house and drove to the end of the street and were able to see fireworks from many surrounding cities. One of the benefits of city life. :) After those finished, we came back and lit off little fireworks we had gotten and lit sparklers galore. The neighbors put on their own firework show.. some of which were probably illegal... yikes :) Unfortunately we really didn't get any pictures of the fourth.. We'll remember and take some next year!

Tuesday, we went and spent the day up in Estes Park. Estes is a tourist town in Colorado about an hour from where my parents live. We spent the day in the "old town" part of it. We went shop to shop and just looked around. Unfortunately we didn't get any souvenirs. Here are some friends we found :) Bridgers face is kind of weird...
We decided afterwards that Bridger should've bought this next hat. He looks pretty studly we agreed.
Wednesday, my sister Andrea came and surprised my parents. It was great to see her! We drove to get here in the morning. The rest of the day we just ran errands and hung out. My brother came up with his two boys so we just had a good family day. :) All gearing up for WATER WORLD on thursday. Water World is a huge water park in Denver. All the pictures from that are on a water disposable camera that I took. So after I get them developed I might throw some on here. Look for them in the next post or so! My mom, Andrea, Bridger and I were able to go. Water World was a complete blast! We spent the whole day going on group rides, two person rides, single rides, and spent a lot of time in the wave pool. We got really lucky, and about an hour and a half before closing it began to rain. Lucky? You ask. It rained for an hour as we waited and ate funnel cakes. After an hour they closed the park and we got "raincheck" tickets for half day. So we get to go back in this season or next and get a half day free. We are so stoked :)

Friday was another relaxing day. Bridger and I went to see "Zookeeper" which we also enjoyed. We were planning on going mini golfing that night but it rained like CRAAAZY! So we just stayed inside and played games. A complete BLAST! So we postponed mini golfing until Saturday morning, before we all took off to head home. Here is Mom and Dad. :) I'm pretty sure they came in first and second.. I might be wrong though. Mom was the only one to get a hole in one! She's the best.

Here is Bridger, me and my dad relaxing in some shade partway through the course. :) I lost terribly.. I'm not the greatest at mini golf, but it is a blast!
Here are the girls :) Me, my mom, and Andrea. See the resemblance???... me neither :)
My favorite way to take pictures with Bridger... :) He is the love of my life and more. I couldn't have been more blessed with finding him and falling head over heels in love. He's a complete stud!! :) Not to mention he is the funnest to take road trips with. We take turns driving because he says that if he drives the whole way that I'll just sleep.. so I drove almost the WHOLE time :) We sometimes have dance offs and he is HILARIOUS in them. He always has new moves to bring to the competition, but I usually win. No big deal ;)
Saturday we began our journey home. We went half way and stayed in Albuquerque with Bridger's dad. Then drove the rest of the way the next day. Now we are home and luckily we came back to cloudy weather in Arizona. I LOVE IT! Our weeds grew, our animals were excited to see us and the house didn't magically get painted... so we'll get back on that. :) It was a wonderful week away, and we were able to do everything we wanted to and more. Back to working on the house, work, and soon to start a new semester of school! YAY! Until next week
