Vacation

John and Bella went off to Missouri to spend a few weeks with my dad.  So last weekend we drove out to Denver and my dad met us there to pick them up and we made a little vacation out of it.  It was really fun, we drove out to Rock Springs first and stayed the night there.  On the way we stopped at Fort Bridger and learned a little history, it was neat to learn some Utah history from the other side.  Then the next day we headed to Denver stopping at the Wyoming Territorial Prison.  Really neat and the kids loved it, especially John.  What little boy wouldn't love an old jail right?

















We told him to look sad, jail isn't supposed to be happy






Then after John and Bella left we took the younger two and went to Elitch Garden, the theme park in Denver.  Phoebe had lots of fun riding all the different rides.

Well first she didn't like the plane ride and we couldn't figure out why


As soon as the ride ended she got off and said she wanted to go again which surprised me since she didn't seem to like it. Turns out she just wanted to ride in a blue plane, then all was good.








And we got a caricature done of Phoebe.












And on the way back home we stopped at a park that had really cool rocks and walked the trail a bit. It was beautiful.











And now we're enjoying a nice quiet house without the older two.  Phoebe is a much different person without John and Bella around and I'm loving spending time with her.  Though she seems to miss them, they always kept her entertained.
