Our LoNE tRee AdVenTurEs

This summer while in Lone Tree, Colorado

we were able to do some fun things

together as a family.

I love being able to spend these memorable moments

with my children and husband.

I enjoy traveling to different states

during the summers and experiencing

what each state has to offer....

here are some of Colorado's highlights!!

Denver Zoo

How cute is the baby giraffe in the background...

I have never seen a

baby giraffe before??!!

Seeing the Elephants was kind of neat because

they were so close.

I felt like I could almost reach out and

touch them.

Trey enjoyed climbing the fence

to the elephants cage which made

me a little nervous.

Our favorite animal

to see was the Orangutan.

He was so cute!!

When we arrived to his window this is what we saw.

Look at those eyes...

he just sat there, right up against

the glass with his maroon blanket wrapped around him.

We went up to the glass

and looked him square in the face

and he didn't even move an inch.

After about 5 minutes he finally got bored

and got up and walked off

with his blanket and all.

He had a hard time holding on to his blanket

while walking so he stuck it in his mouth....

What a smart Orangutan!!

While at the zoo we went to the Polar bear exhibit.

When we arrived we apparently had just missed

the polar bear snatch a bird from the water

he was swimming in and eat it....

the only thing we got to witness was the

bird's feathers all over the cage and the

bear with his back to us eating.

It maybe was a good thing we had just missed it

because that could have been too graphic

for the little one's!!

The Denver zoo was a lot of fun

and did not disappoint!!

The Children's Museum

Denver has a fun and very entertaining children's museum.

We had heard about it through several people

so we had to go see for ourselves.

There were so many different activities for the kids to do.

They had a bubble blowing room that showed you how bubbles were made. You could make huge bubbles yourself and pop them. The room was a little dangerous and slippery as a result of all the bubbles being made and popped!!

They also had an invention and building exhibit where kids could find a picture of something they wanted to build and then they went off to their own station and built it from scratch, all the supplies were provided of course.

They also had a dress up and performance exhibit where the children were able to try on different costumes and perform and dance in them.

It was a very cool and fun place for the kids to experience an array of different and exciting things to do!!

Brookelyn and Trey loved it, Kru had a good time too!!

They had a shopping center just for the kids

with baskets and carts and toy food.

All the kids lined up at the cash register

to pay for their food.

Here is Brookelyn being their cashier

right before she scanned the items

and sent it on the conveyor belt to be bagged.

This was her favorite thing to do at the museum.

There was even an area for baby Kru...

they had swings and soft bean bag chairs

for babies to sit in.

Kru was fascinated with the stuffed animals and mobile!!

There was a firetruck that the kids

were allowed to climb in and around on.

The firetruck would

light up and make noise.

They also had a fireman's

suit and hat for the kid's to try on.

The infamous Bull in the front of the Museum....

the kids just absolutely had

to ride the bull before we left.

An absolute must for children to visit if

you are ever in Denver and have nothing to do!!
