This past June we were so lucky to have my Dad came visit us in Denver for the first time! Not only that but a week later Nathans parents were able to come out for a long weekend as well. It was too fantastic for words. I think Fin was in 7th heaven with all the attention and as much "show and tell" as anyone could handle ;).
We were all in busy mode for the week of my Dads visit. Spending time with family friends that live in town - Jim, Nicki and Donovan Izzolena. Going to Colorado Springs and hiking Garden of the Gods and then heading over to Manitou Springs for some arcade fun (awesome!) The arcade area had tons of those quarter rides - like at the grocery store kind of things - Fin had a blast! We took a trip up Lookout Mountain, alway a beautiful view. Visited Lakeside Amusement park (where all the rides were 50 cents) and took a trip to Heritage Square. Whew!

Dad and Danny on the Go Carts :)
Happy Birthday to Gdawg ( or is it Gdog?) Anyway. Fin was so pleased to help blow out the candle and eat ice cream cookie "birthday cake"!
Snuggling his hero Donovan and Dono's Mom, Nicki. Donovan is an amazing drummer and lucky for him, Fin has invited him to join his band ;) Lol.
Race car driving at Lakeside
The other kids on the rollercoaster cried and screamed and Fin had a blast! He always suprises me. He rode around screaming "YEEEEEEEEA!!!"
Ringing bells on the horse and chariot.
These boats were not in actual water, which I think Fin thought was a little lame. You can't fool him so easily
This will be the closest he ever gets to riding a motorcycle.
Ahhhh, here's the real boats. We had a little trouble getting him off of this one!
Then just a week later Nathan's parents Jerry and Judi came out for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time. There was an Art Festival just down the street where they had kids crafts (perfect to take a break while it rained!). We went back to Lakeside and rode rides AGAIN! And got to go see Daddy's band perform with Micheal Jackson's former guitar player. Which was amazing - they had a impersonator (which I found just this side of creepy) but still I have to say was extremely realistic.
Art fair craft he made with Grandma Judi
Of course Grandma and Grandpa HAD to get him an ice cream cone... ;)

It was a great couple of weeks. We all so much look forward to everyones next visits. Who could ask for a better start to summer!!!
