My buddy, Katie, and I ran the Denver Rock and Roll Marathon on October 19th. Amanda & I decided to make a trip out of it and take our 4 oldest kids. Milan and Jacob stayed at home with their dads! It was a little crazy at times, but we had a blast and got to do lots of fun stuff! We stayed right down town on Saturday night and unbeknownst to us it happened to be the 9th annual Zombie March. There were an estimated 35,000 people dressed as zombies walking around the 16th Street mall area. It was very disturbing to say the least. Luckily our kiddos just kind of brushed it off and weren't really that scared. We avoided the area as much as we could. The kids were able to make signs and get pom poms and cowbells to cheer us on in the marathon. Katie and I saw them all around mile 19. It was so exciting to see them! They went to the Colorado History Museum while we ran the last 7 miles and then met us at the finish line. After the race, we rode the bus on 16th Street mall and then drove to Boulder to go to the Butterfly Pavilion!
Gabi, Maya, & Marco all held Rosie, the tarantula!!! They also petted a hissing cockroach!

We went swimming on Sunday night and Monday morning at the hotel!
Of course we had to try out the new Costco in Ft. Collins!!
