Andrew and McKinley's Adventures: Colorado Trip

Day 5

After seeing everything the winter park resort had to offer Andrew was ready to return. So after a lazy morning and some lunch at the condo we headed back to his favorite ride "the red thing that goes up high!"

After getting his ticket he headed to the bounce house.

Next was the Alpine Slide

Waiting their turn

Mom is holding her breath

Whew they made it!

Down the mountain

Here is what Drew has to say about the slide

Next was the Leaps and Bounds Bungee. Andrew barely made the 35 lb weight requirement. I think the rocks Jared put in his pockets pushed him over...

Getting the Harness on

Listening to the instructions...or at least trying

Back Flip

All that practice on Gigi's trampoline paid off

Cheering on Brother

On to the human maze

Showing our ticket

Stamping the time. Under 8 minutes and you enter a drawing for a scooter. Pretty sure they didn't come anywhere close to 8 min =)

Jared told Drew "No buddy it's this way" but he protested. When they came to a dead end he told Dad "See Andoo was right!"

Up the stairs for the "Z" stamp (you have to find M A Z E and then your way out)

Small break during a rain shower at the Back Bowl Soup Company for a great sandwich, adult beverages and fun games and colors for Drew.

Back to the Alpine Slide for another ride and we call it a day.

Drew and Daddy headed to the car

Wait Drew didn't want to leave!

I think we wore him out =) It was one of our most expensive days even with a half day ticket for only Jared and Drew but so far it was our favorite! We had some enchiladas for dinner and after baths we all were worn out. Unfortunately, Andrew was not going to sleep. No matter what we tried he wouldn't give up, so we put him in our bed and turned on a movie. I am pretty sure Jared and I fell asleep while he finished the movie!! And that brings me to the morning of

Day 6

And boy did it come early. McKinley has been waking up at 4am but going back to sleep until 8 or so but today she just wasn't comfortable and even though Andrew stayed up late he didn't sleep in either. So Jared and I both had 2 cups of coffee and we were still slow moving! But after lunch we headed into Denver to Water World. We got there right in time for our half day ticket (not a bad deal at half price.) It was cloudy and a little cooler than the weatherman told us but it turned out to be okay. Jared and Drew enjoyed the smaller wave pool and the water "playground" while sister and I did a little people watching. Then we swapped and Drew and I went to the lazy river and sister got grumpy for Dad =) Since McKinley was hungry I took her to the car while Dad and brother enjoyed another kids area and then took a shower to clean up for the ride home. Not a lot of pictures for this day we had our hands pretty full. To be honest we had fun but I don't think we will be taking him to a water park again anytime soon. There wasn't a whole lot for him to do and the things he could do are similar to the Flower Mound CAC. But maybe our day was clouded by a trip and fall onto the arm of a chair that resulted in a double bloody nose...poor kid!
