On our way home from Seattle, Emma and I thought we would break up the 6.5 hour flight with a visit to Denver. My grandmother was over the moon happy and excited to meet Emma! Emma seemed to really enjoy the visit too as she was very happy sitting on my grandma's lap playing and reading books together. My grandma has a Yorkshire Terrier - doggies are certainly Emma's best friends :)
My parents came out for the visit as well. Papa surprised Emma and I with a trip to the Denver Zoo! It has probably been about twenty years since my last visit to the Denver Zoo and it was great to go back! It is such an impressive zoo with what seemed like all the important animals that a zoo could want. Emma has grown so much since her last trip to a zoo and really appeared interested in looking at and watching all the animals this time. She literally was on the edge of her stroller seat :)
It's a giant Sophie! If Emma could only chew on a leg...
Emma was pointing out the wild peacocks to Papa!
Emma enjoyed engaging the lions in a blinking contest :)
"Mom, I would like to take this big kitty home!"
Monkey Island!
Another highlight of the trip was a day trip up to the mountains. Much to our good fortune the Aspen trees were still a beautiful shade of yellow. We dined on Beujos pizza in Evergreen (similar to Great Plains in Ames) and had a great time sightseeing!
Love yellow Aspens!
Emma was able to meet my Aunt Margie who also has a Yorkshire Terrier. It was double the trouble for Emma!
This little girl got spoiled by being passed from one lap to another lap all day long!
We love pumpkins :)
Four Generations!
So wonderful to see Great Grandma! Always sending our love to Denver!
