Denver Zoo fun things to do with kids.

More fun things to do with kids.
Feb 14th 10
Took the kids to the Monster truck Jam in Denver over the weekend. They loved it. We all had a blast and it wasn’t very expensive. At least until we valet parked for $20 but to be honest we couldn’t pass up the front row parking by the door when it was so cold out and we were a little late.
If you are looking for fun things to do I highly suggest it.
Hard day on the trail. Time for some popcorn and movies.

Buffalo Bill’s Grave Lookout Mtn Denver CO -Fun things to do
Jan 31st 10
Buffalo Bill's Headstone
Looking for an afternoon of fun things to do with your kids in the Denver Metro area?
Head up to Buffalo Bill’s grave site. They have a movie, (TAKE CASH) memorabilia, gifts, souvenirs and of course junk but the views and learning experiance will have the kids asking questions all the way home. My 4 year old now wants to be a buffalo hunter, Army man that rides a horse.
The views alone are worth the trip. you can see to Woming on a clear day and Boulder looks so close you feel like you can touch it.
You can easily get there from I-70 or C-470 right in Golden. Just follow the signs up Lookout Mountain to the guest services building. It’s all well marked.

A Perfect Landing Restaurant
More fun things to do with kids around Parker Colorado. I took the photo with my iPhone and the windows are tinted so it didn’t come out as good as I had hoped.
Centennial Airport in Centennial Colorado. We are eating breakfast at the Perfect Landing Restaurant. This is a great place to take kids to eat breakfast and let the kids watch the planes takeoff and land. My son loves this place.

Top 10 Parker Colorado Real Estate Predictions for 2010.
Dec 9th 09
Top 10 List for 2010 and Parker Colorado!
Here are Steven Beam’s top 10 predictions for Parker Colorado and surrounding areas for 2010. In no particular order.
- John Elway buys Jay Cutler’s house in The Timbers (after it goes to auction)to store his Super Bowl Trophy’s, awards and accolades he “actually won.” He occasionally uses it for parties too.
- Parker will be named as the new location for a large company relocation. (Fortune 500 Company PLEASE) This is more of a wish…Please contact the Parker Economic Development Office if you would like to open or move a large business here.
- The Parker & Douglas County real estate market will see slight price increases with fewer homes on the market. The average sold home price will also be up.
- Home sellers that have been sitting on the sideline for the past 3 years watching home prices slide with curious anticipation will jump off the couch and buy a new home. They will be taking advantage of the Repeat Home Buyer Tax Credit. Sellers will see prices starting to inch up and decide to sell their current home and make the move. They are ready to upgrade their lifestyle. These will be home sellers with higher than average equity in their current homes and have probably lived in their properties for more than 10 years.
- This is more of a plea than a prediction but HOME BUILDERS will you please stop building formal living rooms unless the buyer requests it? ESPECIALLY in smaller homes! Home Builders please make the kitchen and family rooms larger and do away with the wasted space of a formal living room. Hint: nobody uses them…EVER. I’ve never had a request from a buyer that they want a formal living room. NEVER. Stop building them unless requested.
- The Home Buyer Tax Credit and Move Up Buyer Tax credit will be extended again for the second time pushing it out into the summer months when buyers are actually out buying.
- Tiger Woods sells his Florida home to move to the Colorado Golf Club here in Parker. Woods will enjoy the laid back lifestyle of Parker, CO living. He will give up the tournament life for a few years and play golf weekly with Dave Linigar (RE/MAX founder and self made Billionaire) at Dave’s privately owned Sanctuary golf course and The Colorado Golf Club.
- Taxes will go up! That’s all I have to say about that.
- Tokyo Joe’s will FINALLY open a restaurant in Parker Colorado. I’ve emailed, written letters and left numerous tweets begging for Tokyo Joe’s to come to Parker. In 2010 it will happen.
- Short Sales will become streamlined. Banks processing of short sales will be so fast you can close them in a 30 to 45 day span. No more 6-22 months waiting on a call back from an asset manager at the bank. Everyone in the country will want a short sale and they will be easy and fun. NO FREAKING WAY MAN. It’s only going to get worse. Even with the new regulations.
Here’s a “Quick Fact.” Did you know that John Elway is like the Pope in Colorado? (I mean zero disrespect to the Pope ) Back in the Northeast where we have some family it seems like every home we go in they have a picture of the Pope on the wall. Well, in Colorado I show a lot of homes. I’ve been in literally thousands and thousands of homes in Denver. If you live in the Denver Metro I’ve probably been inside your home or one of your neighbor’s homes. Anyway, Denver is like the Northeast except out here people have photos or autographed somethings from John Elway on the walls. ALL OVER THE PLACE. It is true! Trust in me.
I have more but just don’t feel like exposing my craziness anymore tonight. I will add to this list between now and the end of the year so be sure to check back
- I hope you all have a wonderful 2010 and enjoy life to the fullest.
- Spend time with your family and friends and live with a full heart.
- Leave people better off than when you found them.
- Be compassionate especially with our children.
- Be truthful and honest and do the right thing even when it hurts.
- Call or EMAIL Steve and say hello! 303-941-4663.
Google Goggles? Have you seen this? WOW! Video
Dec 8th 09
I usually never post much technical info on my Parker Colorado real estate blog but this is too cool to not share.
Google has surprised me again. Check out Google Goggles and imagine the possibilities. Watch the video and leave a comment below. I would love to know what you think.
Voice search is already a huge time saver on my iPhone. How much easier and interesting will it be when you simply take a photo with your phone of an item, place or whatever and Google pulls up all the relevant search topics.
“What if I took a photo of you and it told me all of your contact information? Scary!”
Gaspare’s Italian Restaurant plus Bakery in Parker Colorado.

Gaspare's Restaurant in Parker Colorado
Gaspare’s is a restaurant and a bakery located in Parker, Colorado. The bakery is next door to the restaurant and it all looked very good and there wasn’t a lot left buy 1:00 in the afternoon. The Strawberry Cheesecake really looked good. It’s another great way to have fun in Parker, Colorado.
If you are looking for a nice place for lunch try their lunch buffet. Not a huge selection but all the food was very good and fresh. My wife loved the Jalapeno Corn Chowder.
I tried the sausage and peppers, pasta and broccoli and the tomato with goat cheese salad. It was all very good and fresh. I recommend it highly. It’s nice to finally see parker attracting new family owned businesses to the Mainstreet area.
It appeared that they have outdoor seating too but it was 8 degrees today so we decided on interior seating. We’ll be back in the Spring and Summer for outdoor seating and a coffee and pastry.
Gaspare’s is located at: Location MAP: 11020 South Pikes Peak Drive, Parker, CO 80138
Phone: (303) 805-9200

Parker Montessori Opens New Toddler Class!
Nov 30th 09
Parker Montessori School
Looking for day care or child care in Parker Colorado? Montessori School may be a great solution to your child’s needs. Do you have a child 18 months to 2.5 years old that you want to enroll for Montessori School? Parker Montessori Educational Institute is now taking applications for the new Toddler Class.I believe Montessori is a great alternative to standard day care. Children of different ages interact in a classroom setting with generally self directed activities.
