Colorado - Part 1

The day Elizabeth got out of school we left for Colorado. On Saturday our niece Emma was going to be baptized. The kids were very excited to leave to see their cousins. I don't think they realized how long the drive was going to be so we were asked many times if we were almost there. They did really well and I love modern technology. Were would we be without dvd players. The kids spent a lot of time playing on Friday and we even went swimming.
On Saturday we attended Emma's baptism which was one of the highlights of the trip.

Emilie found a new friend. She loved Lily. She would pet her follow her around and lay with her on her pillow. Emilie was quite fascinated with Lily and Lily was very patient.

On Monday we went to the children's museum. The kids had a blast.

They dressed up as fire fighters and played on a fire truck.

Pretended to be train conductor while playing with trains. 

 

The kids loved using tools to create things. 

They pretended to be bugs.

In another part of the museum the kids were able to create all different bubbles. It was quite fascinating. 

The girls even created an enormous bubble around themselves. 

Catching bubbles. 

They painted (don't tell them I forget to pick up the paintings before leaving).

They had another area with these machines that had air coming out of them and the kids were experimenting with little scarfs flying in the air. Emilie thought it was quite intriguing.

The girls created floating devises.

It actually worked. 

We even found a place were the kids could dress up like veterinarians. Emma was in heaven.

And lastly we found this area that was especially created for kids 4 and under. The girls could come in if they wore these special helper vests. They felt special and really took care of Thomas and Elizabeth.

After finishing up our visit to the museum we met up with the rest of the family at Casa Bonita and had a fun dinner and quite the entertainment for the kids.
