A week ago today we headed out to Colorado for the Stout Family Reunion. We braved the 8 hour drive! Luckily for us Kathy rode in the back with Ethan and kept him entertained. I was very surprised at how well he did. The only time he really got upset was our last hour going into the city.We played some fun games on the way there and it helped the time go by fast. Our first game was a photo scavenger hunt. There was a list of things that we had to snap pictures of while we were driving. I will definately be using this game again when we take our next road trip. We also made our own licence plates, and had to check off all the different state licence plates that we saw. We arrived late at the hotel because of traffic and were ready to be out of the car. Mike and Carolee had sandwiches waiting thankgoodness because we were starving and tired. Ethan loved playing on the bed and eating his daddy's food.
On Monday we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. There were so many things to see. Aaron tried feeding Ethan to a Saber tooth Tiger. When you put a coin in it roars at you. This was something Aaron remembered from his childhood. We tried to go to all of the different areas but we missed some. Here are some pics enjoy.
Ethan was able to take a nap while we were exploring. It was pretty funny. We all had a good laugh at his expense. I hope you will have one too. 
On Tuesday we headed to an amusment park called Eliches. It was fun. Ethan was able to ride the Merry-go-Round and a little train. There was also a park area for the little kids. One area had little squishy balls that kids could play with. Ethan loved it, but it was truley discusting to see his black hands and knees when we were finally able to drag him out of their.
On Wednesday we headed to the Denver Zoo. Aaron had a really bad headache and only spent half of the day with us. We say many animals and all my "big kitty's." Nate and Devanie were nice enough to let me and Ethan follow them around and to lead us back to our hotel after we were done.
On Thursday we headed home. It was sad to be leaving everyone, but nice to be getting back to a schedule for Ethan and my own bed. Thanks so much to the Stout Girls for planning a great family reuion. We really enjoyed it :)

Alice,
It was so much fun getting to spend all that time together. I'm glad you had fun! I have lots of pictures for you...I'll get them to you ASAP.
What a fun trip! I love family reunions, but I also love getting back home :D
I loved the pictures of Ethan!
And you looked really cute as well. Did you get your hair done? It looked really good in all the pictures :D
If you could send me some of those games, we're driving to Idaho on Friday and they might come in handy! Speaking of, we might drive through Salt Lake on our way back, will you be in town?
