When I was in Junior High my friend and I would go to the local pool and pretend we were mermaids. I think I foolishly added it to my then bucket list–“become a mermaid is what I had written.” I knew that was probably not going to happen but I did get to at least check “swim with mermaids” off my list last weekend as my friend and I were in the fish tank at the Denver Aquarium when the mermaid show was happening. I won the opportunity to swim with the fishes at the Denver Aquarium from a Twitter contest sponsored by Mile High Sports Magazine – but you can purchase your chance to swim (kids have to be 6 years old). I’m still pinching myself. Yes, that was real.
Taste of Colorado
Taste of Colorado will take place at Civic Center Park this weekend. The “Taste” is not just taste in food (although that is a giant component) there are also several different stages of FREE music (with BIG name bands/performers), arts & crafts and an amazing Kids Zone with activities and fun.
