Before we got on the road Reggie took Ivy for rides in Nana's red wagon. My dad's been trying to get my mom to give that wagon away since we were kids, but she insisted they keep it for grand babies.

Ivy, Reggie and Cole. Cole is our only Burbank cousin and he is two days younger than Ivy Grace.
We went to the Red Rock Ampitheater
(where I was over dressed for a sweaty hike, didn't bring water because I didn't know it was a hike, traffic was bad because it was Saturday and there was a fitness competition, and my stroller got a flat tire...so I was grumpy. Sorry, Chase, Annie and mom...)
We went swimming. Duh what else is summer for?!
We went to the Denver Zoo. It's the best I've ever been to as an adult. The animals were happy, lively, and procreating. There were so many babies! The elephants put on a show, there was plenty of shade, seating, and snack stands. It was a happy place, you guys.
We went to the art museum. Mom and Annie wrangled my wild/loud/museum-inappropriate girls while I toured the Women of Abstract Expressionism with one of my besties from grad school, Caitlin. She also lives/lived in Denver. I miss grad school! I miss my grad school buddies, I miss the papers, the grading, the art, the learning, the stretching.
Annie did a lot of packing while we were there. We picked up a U-Haul trailer and Chase, Annie and my mom filled it up. I was on vacation and taking care of my kids so I was incredibly unhelpful. I apologize. Moving is the devil and I should have been more help.
We also got Fractured Prune doughnuts, went to the splash pads, ate at an incredible French restaurant/bakery (cronuts, you guys!), had sushi, and went shopping. Denver's awesome.
On the drive back to Wyoming...
