    We are probably going for 3 field trips to study the Fall.  We have already gone to the Botanic Gardens, this trip was to Hudson Gardens, next one is straight to the mountains.

    Hudson Gardens is a great place.  This “about” is from their own website:

    The Gardens reflect the multitude of plants, flowers and trees and thrive in the dry Colorado climate, and include land that varies from high, dry prairie to wetlands near the river.Thirty acres of gardens are arranged in a continuous flow featuring ponds, wildlife, sculpture, a garden railroad, adventure hideaways and spectacular natural displays along a mile-and-a-quarter walking path. Quite simply, The Gardens are an oasis of serenity in the midst of the City that allow visitors to simply enjoy their distinct beauty or learn how to beautify their own yards and businesses.

    We visited them this past Friday, the month of September only requires $1 for admission, we simply could not pass it up.

    We checked out a Family Explorer pack which added to the fun.  Also, you will notice 4 boys in the pictures, cousin Adam got to come along!

  • Seriously HUGE Deals, Had to Share!

    About six months ago I got an email invite to join Groupon. I have seen some really great deals on there! This past week I purchased $21 worth of food for ONLY $10 at Fatburger, which by the way was yummy, save for the extra fries. Next time we will all order burgers only and 1 order of fries to share.

    This week I saw a posting on Facebook and it was from a friend who had just purchased a family pack of tickets to a local water park. The deal was $17 for 4 passes. So I jumped on … this site was run by mamapedia and it’s called the sweet deal.

    These offers are way to good to pass up sometimes. But do your research, one friend told me that a detail service discounted price was almost the same as another detail shop’s regular price. Some may be just ok, but when the super-duper ones come around, do yourself and your wallet a favor – get in on it!
