Saturday - Monday, we got to keep the grandkids while Ellen and Luke spent the weekend at a retreat center south of Denver.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
The 5:00am flight got us into Denver at 6:30am. After taking the train to Union Station and switching to another 2 other lines, we arrived at the Littleton Downtown station. Then we called an Uber driver and we were walking into the apartment before 9:00am. Not too shabby.
We had a full day. We took the grandkids to the local Library for free time at Legomanics. David especially was in Lego heaven.
Lucy, say "Cheese"
We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. They had never been before.
Just shoot me.
And I think our last time was 25 years ago. It hadn't changed too much. Just a lot of noise. Since we never purchased tokens for our kids when we took them to Chuck E Cheese, we didn't buy tokens (or rather fobs) for our grandkids. However, the g'kids didn't know the difference. They were still able to have so much fun. Somehow they learned how to jump on the small mechanical animals and rides many times.

After a couple of hours at Chuck E. Cheese, Glenn dropped me off at Arc (something like Salvation Army) and I picked up some desperately needed jeans for growing boy, David. And of course I picked up some other pants for Emily and Lucy.
We learned of a "Break Bread" meal at a local Methodist church and took the kids there for dinner.
The kids were absolutely
E.X.A.U.S.T.E.D
by the time we got them ready for bed at 6pm. They didn't make a peep nor did they object when we said it was time for bed. GrandDad and Grammie were exhausted too, since we had taken the early morning flight to Denver.
I think GrandDad was pretty exhausted at Chuck E Cheese too as he tried to get some
"pizza and quiet".
"pizza and quiet".
Sunday, we chose to go to the Cherry Hills Church. We nicknamed it the "Bubble Church" because of the Bubbles floating down from the ceiling in the Children's area.
After church, we went to a fancy McDonalds and then did a local Letterbox! Fun.
All in all, we had a great extended weekend with the 4 grandkids.
I enjoyed rolling the girls' hair up at night, playing "kitchen" with Emily and Lucy and just loving on them.
David (6 1/2) Emily (nearly 5) Lucy (3) and Elizabeth (10 months).
