We woke up and everything was covered in snow, so pretty, at least 3 inches.. i love it. We relaxed and played in the morning and in the afternoon we went to Denver and visited the Denver Science Museum, huge, we barely covered 25% of it in our 2.5 hours there. Great gem & mineral exhibit, they created a whole cave to show the natural setting, big kids discovery center, learned all about tornados and what do when they hit (they have tornados here in Colorado, never learned about that in California). They had a giant space exhibit, got to play in a space pod, throw moon rocks and see a live "astronaut" living on Mars and talk with him. There was also a Wildlife Hall with tons of wild animals in natural habitat settings (like at the natural history museum), we had a blast seeing them.
Reese is reading (finally) and it is so fun to hear him read all the signs, it takes me by surprise sometimes, I can see how pleased he is to have access to this information on his own. We could have spent hours looking at the gems, Reese has so much fun reading the names of the stones and seeing which ones he has collected or seen before, they have an amazing collection.
That night we were invited to have dinner with Randy, Gail and Katie. Randy and I went to University of Santa Monica some 14 years ago, he is a very interesting guy who has spent the last 25 years teaching seminars on love and relationships. He has also worked at the corporate level training business leaders around the world. We've kept in touch somewhat and it was a real pleasure to see him and meet his wife and daughter. And it was also stressful to bring my boys into a very nice, fancy orderly home (with just one girl), does anyone relate, my guys want to wrestle, jump on the furniture, & be rowdy. They were very good sports about it all.
