Good times in the Mile High City

Today we decided to spend the day in downtown Denver.  Our first stop was the Capitol Building.  The girls and I toured the building earlier in the week and they loved it so much, they were anxious to show their dad.  On the 18th step, of the west entrance, we found the official spot that marks Denver exactly  "one mile above sea level".  

We spent the afternoon strolling down Denver's 16th Street Mall.   It is located right in the heart of downtown.  It is 16 blocks of popular shops, street vendors, restaurants, and entertainment.  It is a lot of fun and the best part is the free "MallRide" (bus).  Because it is a mile of shopping, you can travel on a bus from one end to the other, with many stops in between.  This was the highlight of the day.  Our girls could have skipped the whole shopping experience just to stay on the bus.  Kids are so easy to please. :)

To My Valentine

This is our 10th Valentine's Day together and once again I woke up to an overabundance of flowers and valentine surprises.  Thank you for making this day perfect year after year! 

I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!!!!! You are the most thoughtful, kind man I know. Not just today, but everyday. You never cease to amaze me.  Happy Valentine's Day! 

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Our little Olivia turned 4 this weekend!  We had a ladybug birthday party with some of her cute little friends. Olivia is such a bright light in our family, she has the cutest personality and is SO sweet. We love her so much! I wish she would slow down, she is growing up too fast!  

Riverfront Park

Friday was a beautiful day.  The weather was awesome!  My friend Megan and her kids joined us in Riverfront Park for a walk along the Platte River in Denver's lower downtown area.  The kids enjoyed hanging out on the bank of the river gathering shells.  We had a fun afternoon playing and exploring the area.  After a cold couple of weeks, it was nice to be outside enjoying the sunshine again.
