hi-ho, to denver we will go!

We left bright and early Saturday morning for Steamboat Springs, CO via a night's stay in Denver. Since we are about 700 miles from Steamboat, and we have a lovely, spirited, hates-to-ride-in-the-car two year old, we decided that stopping in Denver would keep all of us sane and happy.

 The trip to Denver went very smoothly, thanks to a lot of prayers, treats, DVDs, snacks, and surprises!!
 checking out the sea turtles

 boys love rattlesnakes...
 cool stingrays
 a baby yellow sea horse

 the underside of a stingray... see his eyes and mouth?
 yes, that's just one LONG fish between the boys!

 we told Carter that the fish was kissing his hand ;)

 the tigers were sleepy that afternoon...
 touching a stingray and a starfish
 check out this shark's teeth... oh my!
 I love the sea turtles!!
 We had a great afternoon at the Downtown Aquarium! We then ate a yummy dinner at the Corner Bakery, swam at the hotel pool, and hit the sack!
