Last weekend we took the kids downtown to see the chalk art festival that's held each year on Larimer Square. The art is phenomenal and we thought that the kids would be truly amazed.
But they weren't. Go figure.
After about 20 minutes of hearing "I'm hot!" "Why can't we draw with chalk?" "I'm thirsty!" we headed off to find a spot to eat the lunches we packed.
Lucky us, we found an area with a great waterfall and pond right next to the Platte River.
The kids were in heaven and we spent the rest of the morning there.
The water began here...
...ran through a little pool, then down this waterfall...
...and into another pool.
All across a bike path from the Platte River...
We'd planned to take the kids to Water World sometime this summer, but I think they had just as much fun here for free.
And, of course, they love to ride the free shuttle bus that runs the length of the 16th Street Mall. It's the little things in life...

What cute pics! Looks like it was fun anyway. My kids always have more fun jumping in fountains and puddles than doing what I've planned too! :)
