DENVER

Finally! I started my job out in Denver on Friday, April 1st.  I am so excited to finally be out west and looking forward having a more routine schedule for the kids that won't be changed all the time.

We also got a new puppy!  She's actually doing well and Rowdy loves having her around.  Shayne named her Bowie - not sure where the name came from, but she was determined to name her Bowie - Bo for short.

The weather has been great out here - except for today - it's snowing.  I can't complain because we really need the moisture, otherwise, I guess fires can be a problem.  It was 85 in Denver yesterday, 78 in Conifer (where we live) and 29 today...... Crazy weather!

Denver Aquarium

I took the kids to the Denver Aquarium.  We were there for about three hours - it was a great time and we will go back soon.  A great place to take kids! The girls had a blast.

Finished tat - a bunny tattoo 

Shayne loved the mermaids.  She got a picture with them and then when we  walked under the tunnel with all of the fish over the top of you, the mermaids got in to swim with the fish.  They swam around, waved at the kids, and acted like they were real mermaids.  Shayne thought it was the coolest thing ever!  Of course they played "under the sea" from the little mermaid while they swam.  She was in the front row, waving, with a big smile on her face!!  We will be going back again soon!

Shayne with the biggest fish ever!  Wow

Shayne wouldn't go near this ape in back of me.  I have to admit, it was a bit creepy! It was a robot, where it's eyes would blink, chest would move like it was breathing, etc.  It was very real looking!  Shayne said "no way, it's going to move when I go over to him." So I made Logan take a picture with me.  Good thing that she had no clue what was behind us, or she would have freaked out as well!

I love this age! Logan was so excited to see everything.  She loved the little fish and in the picture below, you will see a small turtle - she also loved to watch him/her swim back and forth.  

We were still in the parking lot, leaving the aquarium.  After I put the kids in, loaded the stroller, and made a phone call outside of the car, I came back to the kids - Sleeping!  I guess I wore them out.  When do I get my nap??? LOL
