A Trip To Elitch Gardens

JP earned a free ticket to Elitch Gardens Amusement Park through the Denver Library summer reading program.  It took us almost until the end of the season, but we were finally able to use it and have a great family day.  The weather was beautiful and everyone was so well behaved.  Luckily, JP was still small enough to go on some of the little kid rides so we all could stay together for the morning.  After lunch, Joe & I took turns with either the Trio or JP so he could ride on some faster roller coasters as well!

 Ryan was perfectly content sitting on the bench- no tall horses for him!

The ferris wheel & a view of Downtown Denver:

I was worried the girls would be scared.  Nope!  They were having the time of their life!

Ryan preferred to stay on the ground with Dad:

They all barely fit in the train!

Daddy & Maddi spinning!

They had this ride to themselves!

Mom & JP on the spider:

Ryan loved driving the big truck!
