Denver Adventures

Teag needed to take a plane to Denver for maintenance last August, but it was a smaller plane, with only five seats. It just so happened that Maisie would be at Girls Camp for the week the plane was being fixed, so we decided to pack up the other three and head to Colorado to see what they had to offer in the way of fun.

We spent our first day swimming, and eating chips as big as our heads.

The kids were good about sharing a king sized bed, and got to be all snuggly in one place.

The second day we got went hiking to a reservoir. It was a lovely day for it once the sun came out, but we were definitely feeling the 10,000 feet.

The next day we went to the Argo Mill and Mine. It was quite an interesting site, and full of cool old stuff. At the end, we all got to  pan for a little gold, and take home a few flakes.

It was definitely weird not having Maisie with us, and there were a few rough spots, behavior wise, but we had a good time and learned a few things... like that we don't actually care for Denver all that much. But hey, a free trip is a free trip.
