We hiked in the Stratton Open Space. This was our first walk into one the water reservoir areas.
After hiking, we visited the Starsmore Discovery Center to panned for gold. I’m still typing so we obviously didn’t find the mother load.
My Birthday Girl
Katie Beth turned 6 years old today. Given we are out of town, we decided to take her out to dinner to some place new to her, Red Robin.
We enjoyed the food and she had never had a restaurant sing to her. She was surprised to say the least of their dessert presentation and singing.
Hiking Palmer Park’s South Side
We hiked the south side of Palmer Park for the first time today. We got rained on a bit, but it just cooled us down.
We decided we liked this area a lot better than the northern side of the park.

America the Beautiful Park and Kites
Karen picked up kites and Katie Beth has been wanting to fly them ever since. We finally got to a park to fly them.
The weather was good for kites. Katie Beth got the first one up with a little help. She quickly wanted to move on to flying the second kite, which went up much easier for Katie Beth.
Katie Beth switched focus to wanting to share the flying experience with other children by running with a flying kite toward children asking if they wanted to fly them with her.

Wilson Ranch Pool
Katie Beth had a blast at the Wilson Ranch Pool. The pool has a spiral water slide, interactive play feature, vortex, and lap area.
Bear Creek Walk
We had an easy walk in the Bear Creek Park with great weather. The temperatures were in the mid 70’s to low 80’s.
We saw horses in the nearby Penrose Equestrian Park.
We walked the creek edge. Upon our return, we found animal reminds that could have been a deer. We even found a green and yellow with brown spots, which we believe was a Bullsnake. Katie Beth thought all of these things were cool.

Katie Beth and Tasha’s Colorado Playdate
Katie Beth and Tasha got to have a playdate in Denver. Tasha is one of Katie Beth’s classmate. Tasha and her mother are traveling a lot this summer. They are in Denver for a few days so Karen and Katie Beth headed up for a visit.
They all went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for the day.

Garden of the Gods
We had a great hike today.
The ladies dragged a bit, but not too much.
These are the Siamese Twins rocks.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Karen and Katie Beth headed to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. They had a blast while I was at work today. They got to see a lot of the animals being feed.

Dinner at The Airplane Restaurant
Katie Beth had been suggesting repeatedly for us to have dinner at The Airplane Restaurant. Well, we had dinner there tonight.
Katie Beth was too excited to the point of being timid to take the controls.
The foods is good, but nothing too special. The decor was very impressive. Hey, they had an airplane in the building. The realistic mannequins in-flight gear would throw you off as they look very realistic. You can tell that many pilots have come to this restaurant as pilgrimage.
