The wooden dowels can be installed at an angle, allowing the metal rattle inside to become exposed. This poses a serious choking hazard to young children.

The playground in the middle of Cherry Creek Shopping Center has always been known as Breakfast Park has received a complete overhaul.  I hope you and your kiddos got a chance to say goodbye to the giant eggs, bacon and bowl of shredded wheat because it’s toast!  In it’s place is the new Rocky Mountain Play Park is open for your little, wild animals.  The new park is perfect for Colorado kids with a giant raft, a bridge and a mountain that are all accompanied by Looney Tunes characters.

The playground makes our 90 Days of Summer list because it’s a great option for rainy days or sizzling hot days – good indoor option for parents.  Also it doesn’t hurt that the playground is in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center so that mom and dad can shop and play! The new playground opened last week and from the looks of how busy it was it is being very well received by Denver families.

Georgetown Loop Railroad

Try something new this weekend and head up to Georgetown and hop on the train for dinner! If you’ve lived in Denver for a while, chances are that you’re familiar with the Georgetown Loop train but thought that was only for tourists or for you to do when you had family visiting from out of town. But did you know that they now offer many fun theme train rides… such as the Wine Tasting and Hors d’Oeuvre’s Train. A Moonlight in the Mountains Dinner Train, Pumpkinfest Train, Oktoberfest Train and even a Holiday Lights Train.

For you wine lovers, each weekend during the summer they feature different wines from different regions around the world on the Wine Tasting Train. If you prefer the idea of a unique dinner experience, try the Moonlight in the Mountains Dinner Train where you’ll enjoy a catered dinner which will be served in the enclosed cars while the train is atop the Golden Gate High Bridge. If you’ve got kids, I’m sure they would love the Santa’s North Pole Adventure Train. Check their website for more information and I hope you enjoy the ride!
