Denver

We got tickets to see the Seattle Mariners play the Colorado Rockies last Sunday. We decided instead of just going up for the game to make a weekend trip out of it. So, we headed up to Denver on Saturday around noon. We went to the Denver Aquarium. It is really a neat place and pretty big! They have different areas - rain forrest, North American plains, etc. Samuel enjoyed all of the fish, but he did not like the man dressed up as a shark! He is VERY afraid of mascots. So, we dodged the shark whenever he came our way & all was well! :)

After the aquarium, we went to Park Meadows Mall and then dinner at PF Chang's -YUM! Sunday morning we hung out at the hotel pool. Samuel had not been in a pool so we weren't sure what his reaction would be, but he absolutely LOVED it! He enjoyed splashing and playing with a few other kids and their football!

It was fun to go to the game, but challenging with a 17 month old that doesn't want to sit for very long periods of time. We had every intention of staying until the 5th inning but with the dark clouds looming, we decided to leave during the bottom of the 4th inning. Thankfully we made it to our car and on our way home when tornado sirens sounded. We then heard on the radio that they were evacuating Coors Field. Glad we left before the mass exodus of people. Unfortunately the Mariners lost but overall, great weekend!
