Autumn & Kalina

Today we went North to the Butterfly Pavilion.  There were all kinds of bugs and butterflies to look at.  We saw stick bugs, spiders, cockroaches, and bees.

This is outside before we went in.  Autumn didn’t want to take a picture so Daddy did it with me.

See the bug?  That’s ok, I had a hard time too.  It’s the black dot on the stick.

What’s in here?

Ewww, that man has a giant spider on his leg!

Come look at the bees Autumn

This place also had a few fish and jelly fish to look at.

Next we went to the special room where all the butterflies fly around.

Look over here Autumn.  Be careful, some of the butterflies are on the ground.

Loo at the one up there!

Daddy, lift up Autumn so she can see.

This one is very pretty.

Autumn, don’t touch!

Before we left the special place I got to watch a butterfly come out of it’s chrysalis.

Let’s go to the play area now!  Let’s be butterflies on the flowers.

It’s a caterpillar!

There was a rope”web” to climb in, but when Mom told Autumn to climb in like a spider she got scared.  I think she thought there was a real spider there.

Autumn, the butterfly!

Since Mom doesn’t work on Fridays she decided to take us to a special place.  We went and explored the Children’s Museum in Denver.  There are lots of fun things to do there for kids. Since we’re getting bigger Mom isn’t bringing the stroller everywhere, just most places!

Come on Autumn, hold my hand.

The first place we went was the art station to paint.  That was the first time Autumn got to use paints and she really liked it.  It’s ok that she got paint all over her hands!

After we painted we did some coloring.

Next we went to the bubble area.  We got to watch gigantic bubbles get made.  You can even make a bubble that goes around you!  Mom didn’t take any pictures of the bubbles because she was to busy making sure we weren’t making a mess.  After the bubbles we tried to play with trains, but the kids in there weren’t sharing, so we left and went to the grocery area.  We got to push shopping carts, get groceries and pay for them at the pretend area.

After shopping we went to practice being a vet.  We got to take care of the cats and dogs.

Next we went to try and be rocket makers.  I was a giant chicken and didn’t really like the room we were in.  Autumn was having fun launching rockets, but then she got scared because I was.

Mom decided it was time to go, so we went outside and had a snack at the little table.

On the way to the car there was a playground.  We stopped and played for a little bit.  Look at what the plastic slides do to Autumn’s hair.

Time to go home-boy were we tiried!

Tonight we went on a golfing adventure with Mom and Dad.  First we went to a store and Dad bought us a putter and iron each and some golf balls.  I chose yellow balls and Autumn wanted pink.  When Dad brought them out she changed her mind and took the purple ones.  Then we headed out to Colorado Golf Club.  Along with the big golf course there is a par 3 course.  Since we went in the evening, no one was using it and we got to play on it.  Mom says the pictures are a little blurry because we were running all over the place.

The first tee box.

Alright Autumn, let’s go get our balls.

Daddy, help me hit this FAR!

The green

Get your ball out Autumn.

Swwwwiiinnng batter, batter…oh wait, wrong game.

Snack time for Autumn

Daddy got a chance to hit a few balls.

A nice cool drink was perfect after out “round” of golf.

Time to head back to the car.

How’d we do Dad?

The pretty sunset.

As we were driving home we stopped to see Bambi.

I wonder if that was his mom?

Golfing sure is fun.  I hope we get to play some more.  We need to practice how to hold our clubs and hit the ball!
