Tate Travels- Our Time in Denver

We recently had the oppritunity to visit my mom and step dad in CO. We took a week off and headed out. I wanted to share some of the best of my photos from the week with you all and tell you a bit about how we spent our time.

Kennedy looked very forward to the trip. She doesn't get to visit her grandparents and uncle as much as we would like-but it makes the time all that more special. Mom and Burt had lots of fun activities planned for the visit.

On our first day we just hung around and recouped from the hectic travel day. K played with the dogs and had a great time, she also got to bottle feed a baby lamb. (Regreatably I have no photos of this) Here she and my mom are sharing a kiss after story time.

Here is my mo and my brother. I coudn't get one photos with everyone looking. :)

One of the coolest things we did as a family while we were there was the Denver Natural History Muesuem. Kennedy was completely against going-to the point of privatly thowing a small fit about the matter. Once we got there she was thourouly immersed and amazed at the exibits. It was a great time. Papa Burt and her had some serious bonding time at the museum, which was a treasured bonus.

Kennedy took this photo of us :)

The mumy exibit was one of the best parts of the museum. Kennedy was convinced that the mumy would rise and walk around. She was kinda scared to go in to the exibit, but me being the good mom that I am just made her. Once we got her in she said " This isn't that bad they are covered with glass and can't get out." Thank you Phineus and Ferb for teaching my daughter that mumies are real. (I actually like that show-but she told us all about an episode that featured "real" mummies-real being alive.)

The other big event of our trip was horseback riding. I had horses as a child and have many good memories of it. I wanted to share that peice of my childhood with Kennedy. My mom was gracious enough to arrange for Kennedy to have a full lesson. She did amazing. Kennedy was so fearless about the whole thing. She helped brush and prep her horse. She mounted with very little help and never wanted down or got scared. She even got into a full trot. I am so pleased at how she was able to take directions and apply them.

Here is the big moment, Kennedy trotting on her horse Shadow. She thought it was so funny that her white horse was named Shadow.

Uncle Keith took Kennedy for a four wheeler ride. It didn't last long-I don't know who got scared first.

Lastly I will share this photo of us at D&B. D&B is one of K's most favorite places. We had a blast playing and winning tickets. Our time in CO was great. Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon.
