trip to DENVER with the Grieves

after a rain soaked drive that was an hour longer than expected (and one pull over! yet happily, no ticket) we made it to Denver.....the game was rain delayed and we walked in right when it was starting! We had a fun drive telling scary stories (Taylor had lots of new ones from camp!... we finally decided not to do our big New York trip with the Grieves and did this trip VERY last minute to compensate a bit....poor Taylor got home and had to jump back in the car to take off for a trip she didn't know about :) It was way fun except for the dumb weather! We weren't able to get on the field because of the rain, but we had great covered seats and the kids had fun together :)
Kimmy and Devin came up too...
Zacky had fun taking Seth and Alec up to the broadcast booth with grandpa ashby
we crammed EVERYONE into big whitey to meet grandpa at Cheesecake Factory...we laughed and laughed as bryan drove in circle!
the boys made their own fun during the wait!
We got to go to Cheesecake again to meet up with Wayne and Dilene. Wayne has cancer and it was sad to see him in such bad shape
...we love our caramel apples!
the kids had fun riding the tram to buy pens and gloves and blankets for game 2!

with no field time, the kids decided to explore around the park :)

...the kids tried to get some attention on the big board...no luck, but great dancing :)
We made it to Spaghetti Factory for Melisa...
balloon time was great!
but the kids had the most fun in the Hampton :)....playing tricks on Seth and Alec and playing baseball in the pool :)

how cute is this :)
our long drive home....Daddy had to catch a plane back to SF and we barely made it!! :)
We stopped at a rest stop and found LOTS of prairie dogs....zacky tried to pet one, and it bit him!!
Fun last minute trip!!
