Saturday Birthday

Because of Mike's crazy work schedule, we were just now able to spend some time together to celebrate my birthday. On Saturday we spent the day down in Denver and got to do several fabulous things :) We started off at the Aquarium. One way that anyone can tell that Mike is Amazing is that he spent four and a half hours in there with me, letting me wander through about four times. He even got me lunch there, which was so delicious.






This is me attempting to feed the stingrays. Its a bit shaky because Mike was laughing so hard at me jumping and squealing as the stingrays were eating the fish from my hand :)






So this picture of these three tigers might seem out of place. But no, in the Denver Aquarium they actually have a tiger exhibit. The water surrounding it is pretty cool cuz it has some really gorgeous fish in it.

Next on our exciting list was to go to the Butterfly Pavillion. They had lots of cool bugs there. This first picture was the creepiest spider by far.



And then I finally remembered the best setting for taking pictures that are really close up and so these next ones have a very good focus and I really really liked them :)











We concluded our day by eating at the ESPN Sportscenter. Which Mike described as a Chuckie Cheese for big kids. And it definately was! There were tons and tons of TVs, all with different sports channels on. And then after dinner we went and played tons of fun games, like little bowling games and motorcycle and NASCAR racing. The BEST part was when we played Basketball and I beat him by like 15 baskets! And then with Football and throwing the ball to the "players" I beat him 10 to 1!!! I plan on rubbing this in his face for a very very very long time :) :) :) :)
