A Day At Cherry Creek Reservoir

Mimi and I really didn't have anything planned for early Sunday morning so we decided to head to the Cherry Creek Reservoir to hang out. I am usually kind of skeptical about these things because you think walking in the park should be free but they usually charge you for these things. Anywho, we headed out to at about 10:00am and took the kids with us.

It takes about fifteen minutes for us to drive there but it is really nice to see the change from city to park within a short amount of time. When we arrived we saddled up all the kids in their harnesses and started trotting down what appeared to be the longest path I had ever seen.


We walked for about thirty minutes around the reservoir to find the perfect spot for us to let the poopies go free. Mimi was such a goof, she took off her shoes and went into the water (Which was kind of nuts because of all the fish hooks and other dead bodies floating in the water, but it didn't even phase her).

Here are some of the pictures I took from my camera:

Here is one of Adaen....One of the many


Here is one of Mimi telling me she was going in the water.......Ewww


Oh! Can you tell that I hate the sun? It goes so well with my white skin.....


Here is one of Bailey.....He never touched the water.....What a baby!


Look at this little dude go!


The water was a little clearer than this but it also had the sun shining off of it


Here is Mimi playing in the water with Adaen


My shadow......Nice!


We hung around for a while and then some lady with her two big dogs (just a ways down from us) caught the eye of the park rangers so they came over and told her to put her dogs on a leash and then eyeballed us at the same time........So we left. We started on our expedition back up the path (AKA the Oregon Trail) to our car. It felt like it only took five minutes to get back though....Weird. When we got to the car we noticed all the guys panting there hearts out so we knew it was going to be a quite afternoon because they exhausted themselves by playing around near the water.

When we got home, they literally lasted about five minutes and they were out. Mimi and I finally got some well deserved one on one time (Not what you think you sick-os) and just had some tea and relaxed. I think next week we are going to do it again. It was well worth our money ($0) and our time.........I loved it!
