Day 6 in Denver - 7/8/10

Today was my second day of Steve Spangler fun! Marc was going to take the kids to a dinosaur place, but had some trouble finding it. He came across Red Rock during his explorations, so that is where he took the kids today.This is where the Red Rock Amphitheater is. Marc insisted that Daddy walk all the way to the top of the amphitheater. This is a panoramic of the view from the top.
I think both kids enjoyed climbing all the steps!
Peanut (and Daddy) just LOVE Steve Spangler. So I asked him if, when they came to pick me up at the end of the day, if I could bring them in to meet him. Being the super nice man that he is, he said "Of course!". When Steve introduced himself to Marc (Peanut), he was kinda stunned. He stood there speechless for a second. Instead of telling Steve his name, he said "We watch you on tv all the time!". It was so unbelievably cute! Steve was SO nice to Marc!
As you can see we all had t-shirts on about the Mentos/Diet Coke experiment that Steve made famous. He signed our shirts for us.
Steve gave Marc the "left-overs" of the stuff he used that day! Lots of fun color changing activities. I guesstimate that he gave Marc about $50 worth of stuff!
When you see Steve on tv (Elle and the Denver local news) he always looks like so much fun and such a nice guy. Well, it isn't an act, he really is truly that nice! If you ever get a chance to meet, definitely go for it!

While we were in Denver Steve did a tv spot about a new ice cream place that used liquid nitrogen to make a custom, homemade ice cream. We had to check it out one night and it was pretty cool.
This is the recipe Marc chose to make for his ice cream.
We all had a great day in Denver!
