We had a great day planned downtown and had friends join us for the fun. We started at the Colorado History Museum, which we all love. I think it’s one of the most underrated in the city. It’s never crowded and there is always so much to learn and explore. 

The Awkward Family Photo exhibit was a crack up. 

The girls even got an opportunity to pose in their most awkward shots. 

We grabbed lunch and then off to the state capital. 

We took the guided tour which gave us an opportunity to go all the way up in the dome. I saw we, but I sat out of the last floor because I was freaked out. I’m so afraid of heights. Thank goodness for my friend, Pam because she took all the kiddos up to the top. 

I highly recommend this tour. What a great bit of Colorado government and history! 

The girls were ready to tackle all the stairs. 

We climbed hundreds of stairs and they did an extra 100 because they went all the way to the top of the dome. 

After a very busy day we dropped off the girls’ friends and then stopped by home to pick up B for dinner. We met the Tyler’s at White Fence Farm, which has become a summer tradition. I tried for a change of venue because its a bit of hike for everyone and we were worn out but the kids were not having it. “It’s a tradition!!!” Annabelle proclaimed so off we went and of course it was just the best time. Long live the tradition and we welcome any opportunity to see Tylers. We sure do love those peeps.
