Fun in Denver

Friday and Saturday we headed to Denver for a couple of days. Of course, we planned our trip so that we could see the Brewers play the Rockies! This was the Friday night game. Brady was enjoying his hot dog.

We LOVE our travel high chair seats. Best of all...they fit on stadium seats!! Here is Alex enjoying his dinner.
I thought this picture was just precious. Brady wanted to sit with his daddy during the game. He was full of questions about the game and Andy was happy to teach him all about everything that was happening.

The next day in the car Brady said "Daddy, thank you for taking me to the ball game and teaching me about baseball." I thought Andy was going to melt.

Empty water bottles were Alex's toy of choice during the game.

During the 3rd inning, kids could go down and meet Dinger (the large purple triceratops that is the Rockies mascot). Brady was thrilled he was a dinosaur and thought it was hilarious that Dinger hit him with his tail since he was a Brewer fan. They talked about how he was friends with Bernie Brewer and then got this great picture and an autographed card from Dinger. Pretty special thing for our little boy.

Enjoying the game with my littlest Brewer fan.

Great view in the stadium.

A gentleman sitting behind us and his wife really took a liking to our boys. He placed his hat on Alex saying that he would make a great Rockies fan. :) Then he surprised us and our boys with wooden bats as a souvenir from the game. It was really special.

Brady was pretty proud of himself for "stealing" daddy's seat when we got up.

Staying at a hotel always means fun in the pool. This was Alex's first time in and he loved it! He enjoyed splashing and being pulled around in the water.

We tried for a family picture. One of the boys was always looking the other way. The water was just too distracting, but we had lots of fun!

Day 2 in Denver took us to the Hammond Candy Factory. We had seen it featured on Food Network and I thought it would be a fun place to visit. We toured the factory and of course, shopped in the store.

They do things the old fashioned way. While we were there, they were making huge candy canes!

Saturday night we took in another Brewer game. We had awesome seats! 11 rows off the field on the 3rd baseline. It was foul ball territory and we saw plenty of action. No balls for keepers though. Here are Brady and me enjoying the game.

Brady ate everything in sight that night. He actually shared some popcorn with Uncle Matt! Shows you how he ranks!

Here we are, back at it with the water bottle.

Our beloved Brewers made it a good game. They closed the gap to 7-8 in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded. We tried rally capping everyone to help out with the win, but it just wasn't enough.

It was a great trip!!
