Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

And we can because Mike is just like that! He is awesome and gave the girls and I a weekend in Denver!  It has been a life long dream of Amy and Riley's to go to the American Girl Doll Store! The closest one happens to be just outside of Denver. So Denver it is!

We had a blast!

It was the dolls first time flying

Katelyn loves the view from the window. Flying over the Rockies

Sitting at the capital- One Mile Above Sea Level

We toured Margaret Brown's house- "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"
It was fabulously restored and we learned a lot about Colorado too. Mrs Brown was a survivor of the Titanic

Our rental Car after we had lunch at Subway


The pool was under construction at the hotel. I said to the receptionist- "Are you serious?!!! You must be joking!" So sensed my disappointment and hooked us up with some passes to the Jewish Community Center's pool. We love visiting an awesome JCC! So we went and swam there and finished with a little hot tubbin'!

Trying to take Katelyn down!

We also saw the youngest baby bunny ever!



And finally...
the much awaited American Doll Store!!!

I love this picture!!
You can feel the excitement!

On this Saturday there were a few activities around the store for the girls to do.

Amy was wrinkling a pretzel bag and it sounded like a crackling fire. When the lady rippled a poster board it sounded like a thunder storm.

Then they did a doll scavenger hunt and made a little tree house book. Fun stuff!

Katelyn was pretty bored but she found her look alike doll!

And she bought herself a mini guitar. Too cute to pass up!



So sad to say goodbye!

Then we headed over to the mall and went to the Disney Store and the Lego store

Amy found a huge moose. She has fallen for moose since her book report for school.

We were close to the Denver temple so we had to visit.

Then we headed back to the hotel for a nice swim with our dolls- I mean dinner and movie.




Denver is a nice city. Nice people, clean and TONS of shopping (where east coast meets west coast). We had a great girl's weekend!
