Our trip before the trip.....

Leave it to me to get stuck

in Denver for 2 days....

worst luck ever!

That would be little Ryleigh asleep on the ground in the Denver airport at 2 in the morning. Yep, I got stuck in an airport again. We were on our way up to Montana when we heard the gate agent get on the intercom and announce that the flight had been cancelled. WHAT???? So to make a long story short, we stayed in Denver for two days until they could get us on a flight, they paid for all of my transportation, paid for us to eat, paid for my hotel for two nights, and gave me travel vouchers. They would be FRONTIER Airlines.....good thing they hooked me up or it could have been a very long couple of days in the airport and my poor kids would have had a very angry mom!
We decided to make the most of our layover. We swam, ate lots of FREE food, went downtown to check out the "mile high city", and saw a movie.

Was our loooong layover worth a visit to 7-11.....heck yeah! It's been forever since we've had Slurpee's and Big Gulps. We're pretty easily entertained.
We took the city bus downtown. That's always good entertainment. It's a good way to culture shock the kids :) Cara lost her first tooth in Denver. The Tooth Fairy searched and searched for an ATM and then ended up misplacing her tooth...way to go Tooth Fairy! All in all it was a good couple of days. I felt like we remained pretty calm and patient (all of us) but we were definitely ready to board our plane and head to Montana.
