Other activities in Colorado

Fort Collins has a great splash park and playground!  Judging from the small playground built at our elementary school 2 years ago that cost $1/2 million, I'd say this was in the $20 million price range.  Extensive.  Varied.  And lots of fun!
It's the kind of place where you need two adults to keep track of the kids, because there so many different places they can be. 
The kids can play and get hot, then cool off in the water.  Or cool off first and then go play in the various fountains. 
It's a great place to spend an hour or two (as long as your sunscreen lasts). 
Then, for Nellie's very first time in her car seat,
she got her very own bike trailer as we went on a bike ride.
An afternoon thunderstorm threatened and rumbled, but never came our direction, so we had a great ride.  A bike was borrowed for Alice.  Emma had her own bike, and I got to pull a trailer with Jane and Marta.  Jamie took Nellie.
It was my first time pulling a trailer, and it was quite the workout for me. I was glad to be able to share in it!

  1. We all had so much fun with you guys while you were here! Thanks for all of the attention you gave our kids. They loved the fun activities you did with them each day while I got in some extra rest.
