The leaves are changing and the temperatures are cooling. Right now is a great time to grab your pumpkin spice latte and spend the day enjoying time with your special someone and/or your kids!
Here are 7 ideas you can do this weekend in the Denver area or on Columbus Day when your kids are off from school!
1. The Butterfly Pavilion. They are offering $5 admission today! Visit http://www.butterflies.org.

5. Heritage Square-Alpine Slides. They have live music and free admission to the park. It’s like stepping into one of our old Wild West towns. Check out the Alpine Slides!!

Rides are $8 each. Trust me, you won’t want just one!
