Christmas Carriage Parade & Santa Photos in Parker Colorado
Dec 9th 10
Christmas Parade in Parker Colorado
Big fun for Parker Kids!
This is the yearly Parker Christmas Carriage Parade. It basically goes all day long but you can see the actual Parade of carriages at 2PM. There will be a petting zoo and winter Farmers Market beginning at 10AM and PHOTOS with Santa too! The photos with Santa cost $5 so get their early as I’m sure there will be a little line as the kids all want to see Santa. Last year Santa was mobbed by Parker kids and was barely able to get back to The North Pole!
Our kids love this and I’m sure your children will too. Pick your spot on the parade route and kick back and watch all the horse drawn carriages as they pass you by.
The lights in O’Brien Park are up and running so it makes for a really fun afternoon and evening for the kids. It also helps adults get into the Christmas Spirit!
Yours truly,
Copper Mtn ski day! Garrett, Reno, Jack and Steve.

Fun Things to Do with Parker CO Kids!
This was a beautiful day of skiing at Copper mountain. i always try to get in several good ski days with my kids before Christmas. It seems like the cold weather after Christmas makes skiing a little more adventurous for kids. I know…living in Colorado makes us very spoiled skiers. East coast people would die for what we have right in our backyard!
Get off your butt and take your kids skiing! Go have fun with your kids.
Yours truly,

Flat Acres Farm Parker Colorado
Looking for fun things to do in Parker, Colorado? Check out Flat Acres Farm on Twenty Mile Road in Parker, Colorado. Our kids love this place.
Flat Acres Farm is just starting their development into what will become I predict a Parker mainstay. They will be “the place to go” for seasonal fun. Expect to see yearly Halloween & thanksgiving items for your yard and home as well as a full line of Christmas decorations. Their Christmas Tree farm will open sometime just before thanksgiving.
Parker Colorado Christmas trees
Yesterday we headed over there to pick out our Halloween Pumpkins and ended up staying for 2 hours. Yes they have a huge selection of seasonal decration items but also fin things for kids.
Here are a few of the things we did while we were there.
- 750 foot Snake maze. (5 year old loved it!)
- 3 Acres of corn maze. (Big fun for all)
- All kids under 5 get FREE small pumpkin!
- Bouncy houses
- Petting zoo with farm animals.
- Hay bail maze for small children.
- Hay rides behind a 1948 John Deer Tractor.
Coming soon they will soon add a brand new nursery that will rival Tagawa and we will have it right here in Parker, Colorado.

Camping with kids in Colorado is big FUN!

Lake Baldwin in Colorado - Elevation 12,088
Every kid remembers their very first real camping trip. I’m not talking about a tent in the backyard but a real camping trip up in the Colorado high country. I highly suggest it if you are looking for fun things to do with your kids.
Campsite
Last week my 5 year old son and I took a two night camping trip up to Mount Antero outside Buena Vista, Colorado with our great friends and neighbors Steve & Connor Smith.
Adventure Hike around the lake
This was a full on guys camping trip which included the following: adventure hikes, campfires, fishing, NEW pocket knifes for the boys, (all fingers made it home fine) marsh mellows, steak cooked over an open fire, panning for gold in the river, BB gun shooting, a true Colorado weather event with hail, sleet and rain all at once, hiking on a glacier, and yes the coveted brand new wrist rockets (That video is funny) otherwise known as sling shots. Steve & I actually dominated the playing time with the sling shots as we were hurling stones into the lake about 100 yards away. I highly recommend wrist rockets for your next camping trip!
No matter where you decide to go Steve & I both decided that we were going to make every effort on our part to make sure the boys had a great time, were safe and stayed warm.
It can be a daunting task for some kids to jump out of the high tech world we live in and into nature where there are no electronics to entertain them at their whim. Both boys were excellent and not one single complaint was filed about not having a TV or other comforts of home. I was very happy.
View from our camp.
The road up to this campsite was about 1.5 hours of serious 4 wheel drive action. Some of it probably not doable in a smaller SUV with low ground clearance. However or wherever you decide to go isn’t the issue. The main thing is that you get out and enjoy your kids and the Colorado back country.

I still remember my first big camping trip with my Dad and I’m sure these kids will too. It’s amazing how in such a short period of time and at a young age a lifetime of memories can be made. We have been home for over a week now and my son has asked to go camping just about everyday so I’m sure another trip is just around the corner.
“There will always be work excuses and reasons to put off a great trip like this. Life is way too short and we have entirely too little time with our kids as young people to not do something like this. Work can wait so go have fun!”

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.
Anderson Farms Pumpkin Patch in Colorado Fun day for Kids
Oct 4th 09
Took the kids up to Anderson Farms for our annual pumpkin patch outing. Big fun for kids. We didn’t plan it but we ended up running into several other friends with their kids. We also picked up our supply of pumpkins for the season.
Great place to take kids for a day of fun. Easy drive, plenty of food and a warm place to sit if needed and activities to keep all kids moving and entertained.
