just some adventures

We've had a couple of new experiences here in Denver, Colorado. Shortly after we moved here we decided it would be fun to take the kids to the 2nd Madagascar movie. We found a movie theatre and paid a big admission fee (I was thinking at this price, we might only get to go once a year). Well come to find out, it wasn't a normal theatre. We asked where we could purchase some popcorn and were told we do that inside the theatre room. We walked in and it was a real place to get dinner and a movie. There was a table in front of the seats with a menu, a few condiments, and a roll of paper towels. You could order pizza, sandwiches, fries, popcorn, dessert, and drinks. You fill out your order paper and stick it in a slot and a waiter or waitress comes to get the paper, and comes back with your food. That was one movie that we decided it was best not to order anything, it was pretty expensive. We have found a different theatre to try out for our next movie experience.



Our next adventure was going to the flea market. I have been to one before in California when I took a field trip with my art class, but Chris had never been to one and had no idea what they are about. We were out cruising around, not knowing where we were going next, and came across the Mile High Flea Market and decided to stop. We mostly just looked around, but we did find a couple things to spend some money on. I found this cute bag that I had to have, and we found a pair of shoes for the baby. I wanted to buy a blessing dress for the baby, but I couldn't find one small enough. And Chris wanted to buy the boys some Denver Bronco jersies, but since we hadn't planned on going there we didn't have enough cash. We may never go back to the flea market again, but Chris can now say that he has been to one. The kids thought it was so much fun that for some reason they thought it was a circus.

We have had a lot of fun being here. It's so cool to see so many animals in a big city. We have seen deer, there are squirrels, prairie dogs, and bunnies everywhere. And we have seen several coyotes roaming the subdivisions. I love being so close to the Elementary School, there is a perfect hill across the street for the kids to go sledding, and lots places for bike rides. It was really nice outside the other day and we enjoyed a family bike ride. Of course there are always things to do in a big city, but I'm greatful to find the things that our little family enjoy.
