A great day at the Denver Zoo!

It was 82 degrees and sunny in Denver yesterday so Aidan said "Let's go to the zoo!" It was packed - they were not anticipating such great weather and 2 of their entrance kiosks were being fixed but we sneaked to the front of the line because Momma had not renewed the membership yet. We rode the carousel - Aidan on an elephant, Evan on a leopard and Me? An ostrich. Then we took a train ride. The boys are getting so big compared to all the other little ones there. We had to leave at 12:30 to go to music but Aidan had to see his favorites - the giraffes.

Speed junkies at Santa's Workshop

We visited Santa's Workshop at the Northpole in Colorado Springs, CO this past Saturday. Its a great little amusement park, much like Lakeside, that happens to have a Santa and some strange looking elves walking around. Anyway the day was beautiful and the boys loved all the rides. Including the more "adult" rides like the roller coaster, the dive bomber, the space shuttle and the parachute ride. That was enough for mom's stomach. It revolted on the last ride and she got sick all over. Aidan thought it was hilarious. Not sure if it was the ride itself or all the champagne the night before. Word of advice - don't drink many glasses of champagne the night before you go to an amusement park. I'll have to test my theory again sometime.
