Audrei!!

So a couple months ago Audrei called me up and told me she could get a cheap ticket to fly out here to visit, and I told her to buy it.  She got in Friday evening.  So yesterday we went as a family with her to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and then spent a little time downtown too.

Audrei and the kids in the back of the car, on the way to the museum 

 Patrick wearing Audrei's gloves...because he thought they were cool.

 Erin wanted to walk, but Patrick didn't like it when I was going to have him walk.  He tried to buckle himself back in, and was almost successful.

 Audrei and Erin were buddies.  Erin kept telling her all about animals and what they were doing.  She's a fairly entertaining little girl.

 Audrei was really excited about the manatees.

 Cassowaries.  Made me think of Mom.  lol

 Erin took this picture.  The carvings were made completely of gems.

 Headed into the prehistoric exhibit (no strollers allowed and Patrick was mad)

 Have I mentioned that Erin loves dinosaurs?

 Looking at the prehistoric undersea stuff.  Patrick wasn't impressed.

 The Diplodacus.  Seriously huge.

 Audrei "flirting" with the advertisement of the next special exhibit coming in March ("Real Pirates")

 Erin and Audrei at dinner downtown.  Erin loves Audrei's phone.

 In walking back down 16th street, we passed some carriages and one driver let Erin pet him.  She was SO excited, but so intimidated too.

Along with Erin loving Audrei's phone....Audrei has a lightsaber on hers.
