Year in Review: Part 2 - Birthdays

For Dan's birthday last yearwe braved the horrible snowy weather and roads to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. There are tons of different exhibits but we didn't get pictures of all of them because Orson was excited and we were chasing him through the museum. Orson with moose antlers :)

I'm glad we didn't see one of these in the wild. It makes Orson look like a mouse.

I think Orson realized how small he was

The museum has this really cool discovery area for kids. It has tons of learning/play stations. We stayed in here for a long time, naturally, so Orson could play. There was a human body that you could take out organs and such and put it back together.

Puzzle Animals

Showing Mommy the giraffe, I think he wanted me to put it together.

Playing with the elephant

This was really cool. The museum has a see through piano that the kids can play and see how it works. Orson really liked watching the hammers.

dinosaur play pit

Funny mirrors with Daddy. I love these!

This was the only picture we got of the dinosaur exhibit because Orson was running around looking at everything.

After the museum, we made the treacherous ride to Dan's parents for his and Danielle's birthday dinner, presents and birthday cake.

It turned out to be a great day and a great birthday. My birthday is a couple weeks later and we decided to go to the Denver Aquarium. Unfortunately my camera wasn't working at the time so we got a few pictures at the start and then none later :(

And of course, my favorite, DQ ice cream cake
