The fam

We had a great weekend in Denver over father's day. We first we down on Sat. to the Denver Zoo. Andrew was so happy to see all the animals that we talk about all the time. His favorites were: Zebras, Giraffes, Lions, Polar Bears, Elephants and Penguins (Happy Feet!). I think he could have watched the elephants all day. He kept talking about their big feet, and big trunk thing. I think it was hard for him to previously imagine how big they are and when he saw it first hand he was awestruck. He also petted a Madagascar hissing cockroach. He thought that was neat! We had great weather that day, the rain came just as we were heading to the car. We walked all over downtown Denver that evening and had a great meal. We stayed at the Hotel Monaco and really enjoyed the stay.

Father's Day was Sunday and we went to the Rockies v. Pirates game. The Rockies won! Andrew got a new shirt which says, "we want a pitcher, not a belly itcher" which if you know Andrew and how much he plays with his belly button this shirt was perfect:) He was totally into the game the whole time. Ryan was explaining what was going on and Andrew kept saying, "throw the ball, catch the ball, hit the ball." Andrew thought it was great fun to watch. There was also excitement when two foul balls came right near us. The people in front of us and next to us both caught the balls. Every time a ball came up our way I was ducking and Ryan was trying to cover Andrew's head! Andrew ordered a foot long hot dog and ate the whole thing! He was truly in baseball heaven.

Thanks to Ryan for being such a dedicated and loving dad! We love you bunches!
