Denver Drive

Someone asked if I would babysit their kid throughout the school year. I told them I could but that meant we had to take a quick trip to Denver to visit Grammy and Grampy before the school year started. We left at about 5am on the 19th of August and drove. I felt prompted to stop and take a nap like an hour in but didn't listen. After that any time I stopped Sadie woke up. So I was pretty tired but we safety made it to a rest stop in Colorado. It was like 19 miles in and pretty cool.

We looked around at the War Memorial for about an hour. It was pretty neat. They had a helicopter and statues for the kids to play on. Scout’s sad face is when she fell off the suitcase statue and hit her head on the ground. It was really sad.

We decided to check out the inside of the rest stop as I needed to feed Scout and change diapers. It was really neat because they had toys and books there for the kids to play with. Here is Sadie feeding her baby while I was feeding Scout. Amazing what they pick up on eh?

 

Later we stopped at another rest stop about 2 hours from Denver. It was really neat as well. It was a ski resort area so there were a lot of fun things to look at.

They had a lot of water fountain things.

They also had a children’s garden.

It had a lot of really neat wind toys in every shape and form. Sadie liked them a lot.

Sadie’s (and probably Scouts too) favorite thing though was the little digging area. They had some beads in there that Sadie dug up and she was so excited. We took one with us and Sadie was constantly putting it in her mouth. (Grammy made us throw it away when we got to her house though—I guess it IS a choking hazard. )

It was a good drive and we were excited to finally be there. It was a 7 and a half hour drive but we did it in probably 9 or so hours.
