Tiny Town!

Tiny Town? What is Tiny Town? We didn't even know Tiny Town existed until a friend here in Denver shared it with us. All I can say about is that WE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! It is a small town of houses the size of little kids. It all started in 1915 when a man named Goerge Turner built it for the amusement of his daughter. Since 1920 it has been opened to the public and we are glad it is! Riley had so much fun. We spent two whole hours riding their child size locomotives, and exploring tiny town to it's fullest.

The incredibly cute train

Riley loved to wedge himself in between buildings.

Actually using a sidewalk without being asked to!

Unfortunately our adventure had to come to an end, and like every end to our adventure we walked out with a screaming baby. At least we know he enjoys going places and being outdoors.

Riley's Memorial Day Weekend Adventures!

Our Memorial Day weekend flew by so fast. Brandon ended up having to go into work for a half day on Friday, but as soon as he was done Riley and I were there in a heart beat to pick him up. We spent the rest of the day splashing away in the fountains at Civic Green Park. Riley was a little hesitant and need some coaxing from Brandon and I, but he loved it!

  Saturday we ventured downtown to the art festival! I found out last year that it is held every year on memorial day weekend. It is now one of things I look forward to every year. I relish in the gift the artists have been given and enjoy finding unique things. One of those unique things is glass ornaments. Ever since Brandon and I went to the Glass Museum in Seattle on our Honey moon, it has been a goal of mine to collect a new glass ornament every year. After lots of searching and stopping to talk to many artists we found our ornament. Of course by this time Riley did not enjoy being confined to his stroller and eventually we had to rap our adventure up.
  The rest of the weekend was spent with Riley exploring my flowers on the porch, helping dad fix a vacuum, controlling the tv remote, more time at the fountains, and playing in the tub with yet again more water. Over all we had a fun laid back weekend. It was nice to come and go as we wished. The best part was how fast Riley would fall asleep after each day. Here are some more random pictures from our weekend.
