Denver

We headed to Denver to visit Kiley for 3 days while she was on fall break from school. I love the picture of the tumble weed stuck to our car! I hit that thing about 2 hours before we got to Denver. I had no idea that it stuck to my car...I did get a few weird looks from other cars. The weather ended up not being as nice as we would have liked:( We did drive up to the Colorado Springs area to go to a dinosaur museum but it was snowing so we couldn't drive up into the mountains like we were hoping. We also took the girls to Casa Bonita one night for dinner. The girls enjoy watching the divers and the skits that the staff do. The girls loved swimming in the indoor pool at the hotel, but we were not happy that the hot tub was out of service. The last day we were in town we took the girls to Hammonds Candy factory. The store gives hourly tours and you are able to see the employees making all of the candy by hand. The girls got huge lollipops as treats. I'm sure it will take weeks to finish them. We decided that next fall when we go out to visit Kiley we are just going to drive through Denver to pick her up and then we are going to stay in Colorado Springs. We are also hoping to make the trip in late September or early October because we would really like to enjoy the mountains a little more than we have been able to on our last few visits. Plus, there is so much to do in Colorado Springs!
