Mama's Llist

    I did lots of internet searching, brochure perusing, and planning ahead of our trip and I had a list. I love a good list! I actually had a list of activities to do with the kids, day trips to take, trails to hike, nature centers, and one for just Denver attractions. I"m proud to say we did about 90% of the list. This particular Saturday we checked off three stops. The REI flagship store in Denver, Hammond's Candies in Denver, and a visit to the town of Boulder. Boulder is just so fun and funky!

I love the old building that houses REI....here's what the internet says about its history.  "

The 90,000-square-foot building was built in 1901 to house boilers and engines used to generate electricity for the Denver Tramway Co. rail system." 

The exposed beams and large skylights are so cool!

Kids play area for the little climbers.

Free Saturday climbs for members....which we are, which makes me feel so outdoorsy. LOL

Rebecca was a bit fearful, but we cheered her on.

Coming down was her favorite part. Kicking off and coating down.

Isaiah wanted to buy a board......someday buddy, someday.

Hammond's Candies was a repeat from last trip too, but this time we brought Daddy with us. Aren't they all so sweet?

Isaiah popped a caramel in his mouth before we made it to the register.

All their goodies.

They all got free suckers after the tour and a famous Hammonds Candy Cane. Our van will never not be sticky again!

Next up, Celestial Seasonings in Boulder. Their tea tasting cafe is wonderful! 

This tea set is so cheerful!

Thought of Grandma Maryann when we found the biking jersey's on a rack. Do you have one like this, Maryann?

Pearl Street Mall, Boulder

Rebecca remembered this bookshop from 2014 and requested we visit again. 

New Nancy Drew book held close. 

Spring is trying so hard to come, and the snow just beats it up!

Goodies to enjoy later.
