Vacation Day #5

On the last day of our vacation, we went to Waterworld.   I didn't take the camera as the heat and water could have ruined the camera.  I will say it was a great park!  It was huge and had tons of fun slides.  Addies hates the water and spent most of the time on the towel.  She screamed when we tried to take her down a little kiddie slide, she was afraid of the little kiddie fountains, and she hated the waves in the wave pool.  The rest of us had a great day, and someday she will learn that the water is fun!  We'll try again next year!

We had a great vacation!!!! 



Vacation Day #4

 On day #4, we went to Elitch Gardens, an amusement park...which my boys LOVE!!

 Just one of the rides at the park

 One of the many rollercoasters there.

 Addie liked riding in her little red wagon...and drinking pop.

 Here she is riding a kiddie ride.  She really did like it, although the photos don't seem to show that! She kept asking to go again!

She seems to be thinking..."What are my parents thinking?!"

 Addie & I on the trian.  Her favorite thing was the merry go round.  She loves horses and riding them made her very happy!!  I didn't get any pictures of that  :(

Vacation Day #3

 On day #3 of our vacation, we went to the Museum of Nature & Science.  We went through a special pirate exhibit they had on display.  There we learned about real pirates and saw treasures salvaged from a pirate ship that sunk over 300 years ago. 

 Looking at pirates coins

 Nick tried on all the pirate stuff from the gift shop. 

 Here are all of my mateys.  Notice Jack, Drew, and Addie put their coins in their eyes and tried to act very pirate-like for the photo.  Very nice.

 Pirate coins...not real, from the gift shop.  Everyone got a coin! 

 This museum is well known for their vast collection of dinosaur bones.  It was impressive.  Here are just a few shots of the bones we saw.

 We all went to the 3D IMAX video, "Under the Sea" at the museum.  Here we are with our 3D glasses.  We're so cool!?!?

 In the wildlife exhibit, Nick decided to try on "deer ears" to see how much better he could hear.  He said the improvement was remarkable. 

(I almost stole them in hopes that he would listen to more than 50% of what I say.)

Addie looking at the Albatross birds.  They were nearly as big as she was!  We had a great day, and learned a ton too! 

(One of the most interesting facts I learned was when the ancient egyptians mummified people, they took a long hook, stuck it up their nose, and pulled their brian out through their nose.  Oh yes...useful information!!!)

Tomorrow...Day #4

Vacation Day #2

While in Breckenridge, we had to go give the alpine slides a try!!!

We then road the chair lift to the top of peak 8 and did some hiking.  The views were absolutely breathtaking and we really enjoyed the 55 degree weather!

Addie was really sleepy...we don't think she felt very good at such high altitudes.  She wasn't herself at all!  She didn't talk or even wiggle...very out of character!

There she is sleeping...You can see the snow on the hill behind us!!  Mark did a great job hiking with a 26 pound baby on his back at high altitudes.  We loved the gorgeous views and fun trails!! 

Day #3...tomorrow!

Vacation Day #1

 We decided that since we weren't going to Korea this year, we'd go on vacation to Colorado.  We spent our frist couple days in Breckenridge.  Here are photos of day #1.  We stayed in a two bedroom Condo in "Tannhauser."

 We ate at a little outside restaurant just off of Main street in Breckenridge.  the weather was perfect!  It was 68 degrees this day! 

 We had a little music to go with our dinner!

 Addie was just playing around.

 The waitress gave the kids Wiki-stix.  The only "kid" who played with them was Nick.  I took photos to prove this!

Here is one of Nick's creations! 

 Here are the boys by the river that runs through Breckenridge.

 Up to no good!!!

Day #2...tomorrow!!!
