PW and I enjoyed an overnight out and field trip day this past Tuesday and Wednesday. My desire to not have to drive through Denver during rush hour, and lose more than an hour in traffic, allowed us to use Sheraton Points and head to a hotel closer to Colorado Springs.
Our jump on traffic allowed us to visit a school supply store first. Then we headed to Focus on the Family where PW was thrilled to FINALLY be tall enough to go down the A Bend A Go Go slide which is 3 stories high. He enjoyed the company of other homeshcooling families at Witt's End and loved making inspection reports to the older homeschooling kids regarding the plane that sits amid the play area.
We enjoyed lunch at the Soda Shop at Witt's End and then headed out towards our marionnette theater destination.
The Simpich Theater was delightful. However, the show itself was just a tad too old for a 5 year old. The show was put on by one man, doing 9 voices/characters. PW, despite the older theme of the play, did very well watching it and was fascinated by the marionettes. At the end of the show he asked the puppeteer "So how is it that you can do all those good - girl voices as well as the boys?"
I'm thinking we will visit again but pick a show more age appropriate for PW. I'm excited to have just found a puppet theater in Denver as well.
Unfortunately we could not take any pictures in the theater. So the Simpich website will have to do for this trip.
