Ok so as a disclaimer I have to admit that I was a huge slacker when it came to taking pictures, I didn't take any of Melody. (Sorry terrible mother moment) I will try and be better next time.
Also I know we got to see Daniel, Jessica and Sophie about a week ago when they came for Grandad's funeral but we already had this trip planned.
Sooooo, Thursday morning bight and early My mom, dad, Jason and Candice took the 15 hour Amtrak train to Denver. Brian, Elise, Melody and I decided to do the 8 hour car ride instead. We thought about taking the train but the thought of being stuck on a train for 15 hours with a toddler and a baby you still are nursing; no thank you! The car ride went great, Elise was a little whinny but hey she's 2, and Melody was an angel!
The first day everyone but Jessica, me and the little girls went to the US Mint. Everyone was really surprised they don't give out free samples! :) And we went and met the Judge Daniel interned with over the summer. He let us wander around the courtroom, so Elise is in the witness box and Jason is the defendant. Then we did some shopping, well really all we did was my mom got stuff for the girls. We love grandparents! Then we went to the house of Molly Brown. Some of you might know her as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." It was interesting to know where she lived but her house is nothing like the portray it in the movie nor is she. I was kind of disappointed, oh well.
Day two we went to the zoo, (hey that kind of rhymes!) That was a blast for the girls. Elise kept asking to see the monkey's and her and Sophie kept trying to hold hands while they were in their separate strollers. So precious. We were so worn out after words that we just went back to the apartment and vegged.
We had a great time and Elise is now going through Sophie detox. We miss them sooo much already and we will hope and pray they can make it for Christmas. If not I think we might have to kidnap Sophie. :)

I wasn't as on top of pictures as usual either, oh well. Sophie has been asking for Elise too, she was lost this morning without her, just wandering around the house.
Thanks again for coming, I know it wasn't easy to make the trip but we're so glad you did!! See you in December (positive thinking, right?)!!
What a fun trip! Let's hope Elise never has to be in that witness box again! Your family is just too cute!
Sounds like you had alot of fun! Nice you could get together with your family and have some fun. Wish you could have come to Arizona with us...maybe next time. Love ya guys!
