My parents came to Denver for Thanksgiving, and it was a full, fun weekend together! I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few (just for you, Becky!). My sister Becky and her husband Chris weren't able to be with us this time, but we get to see them at Christmas (Yay!).
My sister Sara and her husband Geoff just bought a house, so we spent some time helping them get unpacked and settled in.
The girls requested a trip to the Downtown Aquarium since we had never been there before. Actually, Joel will correct me and say he took them there several years ago when they were much younger. I was out of town for the weekend and it was a fun thing for them to do. There is a flash flood exhibit that is right at the beginning, and apparently the thunder and lightning totally freaked out the girls, so Joel was left pushing a huge double stroller through crowds of people as they tried to get out of there as quickly as possible. So they were all a little traumatized from that experience.
This time it was much better! Here are the girls with the tiger behind them. You can barely see him up on the rock under the tree.
This was a highlight for Norah: petting and feeding the stingrays! The water was just barely too deep for her to reach them, but she was so patient waiting for them to swim a little higher. After about 15 minutes of waiting with her hand in the water, the staff said it was ok to feed them. Once we did that, they came right up to her.
We're so thankful we were able to spend the weekend with family. Looking forward to being together again at Christmas!
