10:00 PM
February 27th - March 3rd 2017
Brian got offered a new job that wouldn't require us moving to North Dakota like his current job. He had to have his CDL completed before he could start the new job. So Brian quit his old job a week early and we headed to Denver. He knew an instructor for a CDL a class in Denver who said he could shorten the program for him from 10 days to 4 days. So we booked a hotel and the kids and I got to hang out there during the day because Brian had to take the car. But luckily hotels are fun places for kids!
 |
| Eating out our first night there. Longhorn Steak House, so yummy! The hotel gave us a coupon for a free appetizer and it was so big that it filled us completely up. We ate the actual meal for leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. |
 |
| We took the kids to Cabela's and boy was that a letdown compared to the Cabela's near Provo. The kids still had fun so that is all that really matters. |
 |
| Our last day, after Brian passed his test (wahoo!), we headed for an all day trip to the Denver Zoo. The kids loved seeing the kitties, just a little kitty obsessed at this house. |
 |
| Breydon loved this tank full of blub blubs and turtles. He is seriously turtle obsessed. |
 |
| The world's biggest puffer fish, would have been awesome to see him puff up! |
 |
| Scariest goose in the whole zoo, lol. It really wanted to eat our food and wouldn't leave us alone. |
 |
| Follow the leader. |
 |
| After watching the Elephant training. The Elephant Area cost over $50 million to build, pretty crazy! |
 |
| Elephant Selfie. Breydon didn't want to join. |
 |
| Adleigh loved this hippo because once we came over to her area she got over and slowly waddled over to the pool and got in to swim. It was cool to watch her go from super slow to speedy fast in the water. |
 |
| Tried to get a picture on the hippo statue but a wild kid kept jumping on and off... whatever. |
 |
| Breydon loved the ride... |
 |
| Adleigh picked the hippo to ride on, shocker. |
 |
| We headed to the bird aviary but just missed the person selling the bird food. It took us a while but we finally bribed a bird into being our friend. It then bit Adleigh's hair tie and then flew over and bit me, such a nice bird. |
 |
| My monkey watching the baby monkey... ok actually a gorilla but you get the idea. :-) |
 |
| Breydon was excited about his bear shirt and then very excited he got to see the bear. |
 |
| Adleigh wanted a picture with the lions and she actually smiled really cute for the picture. |
 |
| Adleigh wanted a hippo toy but the main gift shop was closed and only a pathetic little cart was open. Adleigh picked the last turtle much to Breydon's dismay (we placated him with a ball) and she wanted a picture with her turtles and the turtles on the floor. |
 |
| #ILoveDenZoo haha |
 |
| Leaving the Zoo selfie. So glamorous. We headed home after that. The kids fell immediately asleep and then woke up an hour before we got home. Needless to say they were up very late that night. |
