Casa Bonita is a Mexican food restaurant in Denver, offering live entertainment--including cliff-divers--and lots of atmospheric places to explore.
Not only did our puppies lie quietly under the tables at dinner, they had experiences with waterfalls,
loud stage shows--including a costumed gorilla and pop-guns, caves, winding stairs, scarey maniquins, an arcade,
live musicians and wobbly rope bridge.
Eveyone had a wonderful time!







DINNER


We're all here--let's go eat!

The food line is like a tour
through a Mexican village.
It weaves back and forth...
And does hair-pin turns--hello, stranger!
Until we pick up our trays at last!








Our group had an elegant pavillion next to the stage--all to ourselves!
The dogs make themselves comfortable while their raisers tuck in!
Josie waits patiently.



THE CASA BONITA EXPERIENCE


Let's go behind the waterfall!
  



Nunzio: "The sign says, 'No climbing, jumping or diving'...."
Josie says: "But Mommmmmmm--What if I WANT to climb, jump and dive!?!



Eli, Laurie, Gillian & Miranda took Nunzio to the rope bridge.
Hello, down there!




Explore Black Bart's Cave - at your on risk!



"May be too scary fer youngans 1-5 years..."
Barb Witcher checks with Josie; "Is this going to be too scarey for you?

Elka has talked Nancy into a trip
through Black Bart's Cave.

Is that Black Bart?
 
Josie has a look around.
We Did It! We found Black bart's Loot!

Elka, beware the "Splash Zone!"

Elka: "Hey, there's a guy in that water!"

Don't get too close, Josie, you might get splashed!
