My sister Michelle and her darling little daughter Avery came to visit us in March. It was a blast! Shell and I galavanted around town with the kids and stayed up late with much-needed girl talk. Avery is so adorable and a little smarty pants! She talks up a storm. My favorite thing was her version of "share." Of course kids at this age have a hard time sharing, so when they would go to take away a toy, we would tell them "share." Avery would say "share" to Link, implying, "You give that toy to me" or "Don't you dare take this toy away." It was hilarious!
Link and Avery--little friends--with matching leash/backpacks.
We walked along the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver.
The boys LOVE their cute cousin.
We celebrated Shell's birthday and Aves blew out the candles (before we even sang!). {Poor Shell was such a good sport to partake of my "healthy" cooking--you can see here the semi-healthy carrot cake sans frosting. Ah! At least she didn't have to eat my wheatgrass or sprouts}
Pals. . . despite all the "sharing"
We visited Hammond's candy factory and watched how candy is made and ate yummy candy but laughed out loud at the movie when they claimed their candy is made from "3 all-natural ingredients: pure water from the Rocky Mountains, sugar from the Colorado plains, and corn syrup."
At the Lookout Mountain Nature Center where the kiddies got to find out about animal homes and search for spiders under rocks.
We went to the Denver Nature Science Museum and the kids loved the "stuffed" animals.
Gotta love this shot Isaac took of Shell and me (we're in a psychedelic whirl!)It was awesome having you here, Shell! We love visitors!
