Free Day at the Denver Botanic Gardens

Early on in the summer I marked my calendar with all of the upcoming "Free Days" for Colorado activities and sites. However, with all the fun we've had at the pool this summer and with two weeks of VBS, there hasn't been a lot of time for our typical summer field trips.

We finally enjoyed a free day on July 22nd. The kids and I drove up to Denver to go to the Botanic Gardens. Even though our planned picnic lunch in the gardens turned into a picnic lunch at Whole Foods, watching the storm roll in, and parking was nearly impossible, we really had a great time. The kids always enjoy seeing something new.







Capturing all three of them in one shot is a lot harder than one might think...




This is one of my new favorite photos of my boys!











Their favorite part was rolling down this hill over and over and over again!

Hey Erin! Sounds like such a fun summer! Absolutely precious kids you have, and they've got a super great mom! Thanks for your prayers for my mother in law! Can't wait to see you in Colorado. We'll be there this December.

We love the Denver Botanic Gardens!! They have a great summer concert series and a new children's garden. Can you let me know where you got the list of free activities?

Cute kids :-)
