We bought plane tickets in June for an overdue visit to see the Colorado Austins. Before we knew it, November was here, and we were there! Our first fun excursion was to the science museum in Denver. Maggie was particularly pumped because she had just read a book on mummies that had noted the nice collection of animal mummies on display in this very museum. They had a pretty awesome whale exhibit going on, too.

Libby and Mallo went out for a prairie dog hunt. Those critters are pretty darn fast, and they don't come out when you poke sticks in their holes, either.

Reading a story with Uncle Chris
Paige was able to round up enough bikes from the neighbors so that we could all bike into downtown Louisville to hit an old school arcade called Tilt and then get some ice cream at the Sweet Cow. We stopped at one of their awesome parks. It has a great playground and an awesome little mountain bike terrain to zip around.
One night we made pizzas...we need that recipe, Uncle Chris!!
Macey's into making and editing videos, the pizza short was just as good as the dinner!
We hit one of their great community centers and spent the morning at the pool. Mallo was kind enough to model and share their cool mermaid tail.
Macey's flippin out!
Playground fun
We also went out for a fun Italian dinner, with a surprise for the soon to be birthday girl.
She got some great presents from her cousins and got a sundae that was bigger than her head. Look at the size of that spoon!
We squeezed in as most fun as possible, and had an amazing visit with our family! The girls played so well together and the weather was perfect (we got to see some snow- and got outta there just in time!) Thank you so much for such a great trip, Uncle Chris, Auntie Paige, Macey, and Mallory!!!
