Today was another jam packed day full of sunshine and clouds and of course laughter! We packed up the kids early and headed down to my parents hotel for breakfast. The kids loved the fireplace.

Then we all climbed into the van and headed down to Morrison for a morning at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It was gorgeous. We went into the visitors center, which was so cool and then headed outside to brave the stairs.

I need to mention that Nathan took Lucas and Scarlett down to the stage and then ran up the stairs with Lucas on his back and Scarlett in his arms. Impressive right?
I told him to take the snuggli but he said he didn't want it.

Lucas went and climbed a little and earned his new Indian name
RedButt OrangeHair...can you see why?

After that we drove about a mile to Heritage Square. The kids were tall enough to ride a lot of the rides. Bridget needed to be with an adult, but she still got to ride some rides alone.

We stopped for some ice cream and Lucas wanted to do the zip line. He was great, what a little adventurer. Bridget wanted to do it but I said no this time, I thought she might fly right past the instructors because she is so little. Hahaha.

We rode some more rides...I am only sad I didn't get video of Grandpa getting in and out of the train ride. Hahaha.

Lucas learned the gumball rules. Oh, and it was yellow so it was Grandpa's! Hahaha.

We went to go on the Alpine slide but there was lightning so they closed it, we went to the paddle boats and waited it out. Our last ride was the paddle boats it was fun for me, but Lucas was terrified of the "brown water where there is no fish."

We packed back into the car and went to Flat Irons to shop for the kids and then we had dinner at Bloom. It was delicious! We then parted ways and my parents met us back at our house for dessert. I made Snickerdoodles. The kids ran around in their jammies and played with Grandma and Grandpa some more and then it was bedtime. All in all it was a very busy day and only Nathan turned into a tomato. He said he was okay but only tomorrow will we know for sure! :)
