A Day at the Aquarium

Yesterday we went to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver. Caitlyn's uncles, Jordan, Paul & Andy wanted to take her there for her birthday. We all had a fun day looking at the different exhibits.
Waiting in line to go into the Aquarium with Uncle Andy Caitlyn, Uncle Andy, & Uncle Paul (still waiting in line)...it was a busy day at the Aquarium.
Caitlyn kept wanting the Aquarium's Shark mascot to come over, but then when he came over to take a picture with her, Caitlyn wasn't so sure about him and clung to her Uncle Andy.
Caitlyn kept saying she wanted to pet the iguana, but then when she got close, she changed her mind. (I can't say I blamed her...he was pretty ugly!)
When we first started looking at the fish, Caitlyn didn't really understand that the fish couldn't "get" her and they were separated by glass. We had to keep showing her that the fish were in their tanks and wouldn't get her.

The seahorse were really fun to watch swim around....
The "tunnel" exhibits were the most fun because we got to watch the fish swim over us.
Caitlyn thought the turtle was pretty cool!
She loves stars, so the starfish caught her attention.

Having fun with Kelsy
Caitlyn wasn't too sure what to think of the large sharks, but the rest of us were very impressed.

Spring Snowstorm

Yesterday we had a spring snowstorm and got about a foot of snow. After dinner, Kyle went out to shovel the driveway, and Caitlyn insisted on "helping".
Bundled up and ready to go!
Having way too much fun in all the fresh snow!
I think we could have left her out there all night!
Since we were kinda stuck inside for the day, Caitlyn and I decided to make chocolate chip cookies. I asked her to help me put away the cookies once they were cooled, and I turned my back for one second, and this is what I caught when I turned back around.
If that's not a guilty face, I'm not sure what is!
One evening this week when I was painting my toenails, Caitlyn insisted that I paint her fingernails & toenails. So here she is showing off her manicure and pedicure.
