Annie's 13th Birthday !, "Let's Go ROCKIES!" & The Denver Zoo

For Annie's birthday I made her a cake shaped like a watermelon. It was my first attempt, so it took a little longer than I planned. I was really happy with how it turned out and Annie loved it.
Annie wanted to have a party with some of her friends. We decorated with streamers and twinkle lights downstairs. They ate TONS of pizza & candy and watched a movie. We didn't see them all night. She had so much fun she said it was the best birthday ever.
For Memorial weekend we went to Colorado to see the Rockies play. Jon has gone the past few years, but this year we went with him. We had so much fun. The girls were so excited to see Denver. The second we walked into Coor's Field, Annie became a instant Rockies fan. She has started watching the games on TV with Jon and she has learned a lot about baseball. (Jon is so proud) I was a little worried that the girls would get bored during the game, but they loved everything about it and never complained once. They can't wait to go back.


The next day we let the girls choose what they wanted to do. They chose the Zoo. The only Zoo they have every been to is Hogle Zoo, so it was fun to see something new. It's quite a bit bigger than the Zoo here, so we saw all kind of different animals. Laynie has fallen in love with giraffe's when we left we bought the girls stuffed animals she pick the giraffe and named him 'Bananas'.



All in all, the trip was a big success. It was a new and different adventure and we all had a great time.
