Family Getaway
To start off spring break this year we decided to take a mini vacation with the kiddos. We spent our time in Estes Park and then in Denver. Estes was so beautiful! The kids liked swimming at the hotel pool and checking out all of the little shops. Jason was able to get out and do some fly fishing. In Denver we got to enjoy a dinner at Casa Bonita. The following day we had breakfast at Duffey's and then made a visit to the Butterfly Pavilion. Awesome weekend!
The Stanley Hotel. The location where the movie "The Shining" was filmed. Being the scary movie lover I am, I had to go see this hotel while we were in Estes. It was just as cool as I thought it would be!

Estes is full of tiny little shops. This one made homemade candy. We watched as the owner was rolling out some peanut brittle. Then the kiddos got to pick a sweet treat for themselves.
Huge Jawbreaker

Yes, that is a tarantula. She had the biggest smile out of all the kids!! I still can't believe she wanted to hold "Rosie".

Monster Eye
Tylers class was given the task of baking and then decorating a cake. They could decorate it however they wanted. All of the kids in the class brought in their cakes and then the rest of the 5th grade voted and picked the best decorated cake. Tylers cake didn't win but, it sure was a cool cake!!

Enjoying The Sunshine
We took advantage of the warm weather we had today and took the kiddos up to the Shrine and to the Zoo. You can see the entire city from the top of the Shrine. It was very beautiful up there. The highlight of our zoo trip this time was the Budgie Buddies. All of the kiddos were able to go in and feed the birds. I have never seen so many birds in one room!

Westcliffe Pizza Run
So, a while back we just happened to stumble upon this great pizza parlor in the little town of Westcliffe. It is in a very old building that is pretty cool. The pizza is made from scratch after you place your order and is so worth the wait! While they are making your pizza they have a room just for kids to go play in. Its full of arcade games and even has a bounce house in it. The best part about this room...its free!!! You can't beat that. Westcliffe is right at an hour from where we live so today we decided to make a day of it. On our trip there we stopped to go check out some beautiful streams and we watched some adorable little lambs running around (so so cute!!). On the trip back we found a nice place for Tyler to shoot his 22 that he got for Christmas. When we finally got home we were all wiped out. It was a great way to spend our Sunday together.
