Can you howl like a wolf?!?!

We took a trip up to Woodland Park and Divide this week to visit Elaina and Karma again. We went to the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center for some new fun! We joined a guided tour through the sanctuary and got to see fox, coyote and wolves pretty close up! It was interesting to hear about the different wolves and how they came to be there. Bronwyn and Karma seemed to keep pretty interested while Hayden decided to find the perfect walking stick!
The gift shop was a huge hit and everyone had to go home with wolves! It was nice to find something new and to spend a few hours with friends!

Check out this video from the end of the tour. I was sitting next to kids and trying to video them at the same time. But as you can hear, we all howled for the pack and they howled back at us!

~Happy 4th of July~

We hope everyone had a fun 4th of July! We had some family over for a small BBQ and the kids had fun playing with their cousins. Lots of food and great family! No fireworks since there have been so many fires and now there are all fire bans. We could catch a few way out in the distance and that was just enough after our day!

Where the big fish swim!

We spent part of the weekend with our friends Elaina and Karma and made a trip down to the Denver Aquarium. I always love it there! It just never gets old. And taking the kids each year is always fun and each time they see more and enjoy it more.
The big attraction this time were the mermaids! We were able to catch them perform in the water and do a little show. Bronwyn is really into mermaids right now so it was really exciting for her to see.

We even got to take our pictures with them!

We also got to touch the sting rays! The kids tried and tried and would not left until they finally had one close enough to get their fingers on! Always a great time and fun to spend it with friends!
