Afternoon in Denver

After almost 6 months of living in Colorado, we finally made it up to Denver to spend an afternoon. A few weeks ago I won tickets to see the Imagination Movers (Disney show band) in concert. So Rob took the afternoon off of work and we headed up to see the show. It was actually really cute and fun! They started with the Choo Choo Soul group (also from the Disney Channel) and then the Imagination Movers came on. They were very interactive and encouraged kids and parents to get up in their seats and dance. Eliza LOVED it and even Chloe had fun for about the first hour. Then both kids seemed to lose interest so we bailed before the encore performance! But it was definitely fun.




Our nephews Trevor and Mitchell were flying in late that evening so we didn't want to drive all the way home after we were already in Denver so we decided to make a whole evening of being up there. We headed to Cafe Rio for dinner (yummy!) and then went to the Denver Aquarium.

It was Friday Family Night at the Downtown Denver Aquarium so they were open late, had a discounted rate for kids and had a few extra events going on. It's a good thing we used coupons because Chloe FLEW through the Aquarium! We didn't have a stroller with us and she was excited to be free and running around. So what we did see of the Aquarium was pretty cool! It is very well done and lots of different exhibits and areas designed just for kids. Next time we will definitely go back with a stroller (or maybe a kiddie leash for Chloe!). I couldn't get very many good pictures while helping chase Chloe or get her to pause for even a minute at this place.





It was a busy day and the kids fell asleep in the car while we waited for Trevor and Mitchell's plane to land late that night. But lots of fun!
