I am finally getting around to posting about the trip we took two weekends ago.
After that fun weekend when my family was visiting, all three of the kids got pretty sick. It was an awful stomach bug, and we weren't sure if we should still go on our trip to Denver.
But it turned out to be the 12-24 hour variety, and by Wednesday when we were scheduled to go, they were their normal selves, so we left as planned.
Grandpa Allen joined us for the road trip, and the kids did great on the long car ride.
On one of our stops Grandpa got the kids some ice cream
We were excited to spend a few days with the Miller family. Unfortunately, I got pretty sick with that dreaded bug on the first night, and for most of the first day there. But the kids had fun-- Brighton got to go to kindergarten for part of the day with Bennett, and then we all went to a fun place called Monkey Bizness:
Sadly, the next day Ellery, Bennett and Rachel got sick, so we had to go to the Giants game without them. The kids were sad that they couldn't spend time with their cousins that evening, but Brighton and Chelsea were pretty excited to hang out with Uncle Sam:
We had a great time at the Giants/Rockies game
And it was fun to sleep in a hotel, too
The next day everyone seemed to be feeling a little better, so we went to a fun park where they had a creek, and had a picnic lunch:
They also had a train ride
How cute is this little baby? The kids could not get enough of her
Even with all of the unforseen illnesses, it was a great trip! We don't get to see the Miller family near enough, and the kids had a blast with their cousins.

Cute pictures and fun trip despite all of the sickness. I love seeing the children together. And we love love having all of us together. It could only have been better if everyone had felt good and Matt and Emily had been able to come.
Cute pictures, Lisa. Thanks for doing a post on your trip. We're so glad you came to visit us -- it is always fun to be together. Love you guys.
