LT earned a ticket to Elitches for completing the summer reading program through the Denver Public Library. We have driven by this magical amusement park many times, but honestly, I am lazy and the thought of dragging two kids around an amusement park didn't appeal to me. However, LT was determined to go. A good family friend was kind enough to give us 5 free tickets as well as a parking pass, which made the daunting task inevitable. It was actually a very fun day! Adler didn't want to go in the morning, so we left him home with Papa. Brian (who took the day off for the big event), LT and I met Zack and his mom there for a morning of rides as well as exploring the water park. After 4 hours, we were all exhausted and so we headed home to relieve Papa of his duties and rest for a bit. It wasn't long though before LT insisted we go back and take Adler, so we did. In total, we spent 7 hours at Elitches, but I think we all had a great day.
The kiddie area was really big, filled with lots of rides for the boys to choose from. Brian and I even got to ride on the Rockin Tug!
Orange swings, what could be better than that in Adler's world? He had a blast riding these swings over and over again.
They had a truck that went around on train tracks for the kids to ride in and drive, definitely a big hit.
Spinning paint cans (in orange of course) was yet another favorite of Adlers. I didn't take a picture, but LT went on a huge raft ride that left all of us soaked. Brian also took him on the big ferris wheel, overlooking all of Denver. Adler wasn't sure he wanted to go on it, so we skipped the ferris wheel.
