Crazy hair

We haven't been to Colorado for a while so we took the chance with some cheap flights to visit Dad. This was Indie's first time on an airplane as a big girl. We kept busy with snacks and a bunch of activities I made ahead of time. The girls did quite well.

We did a lot of hanging out, waiting for Dad to finish up work but we got out one day to the park. The wind made it so cold that Nora just froze, not moving much, but Indie didn't care too much.

SK brought a cute Frozen paint set for them to do. Indie loves hanging out with her.

Nora loved the keyboard and play horse.

The aquarium. There was even a mermaid that swam around- Indie was dazzled.

Nora trying to give loves to Dory. Not quite the same as her stuffed animal at home.

While Dad was busy working, we drove out to the Wild Animal Sanctuary. It is a non-profit organization that rescues animals and brings them here to live out their lives- animals like wolves, bears, panthers, camel, etc. There is a walkway 30 feet in the air that runs by the animals' enclosures; this way, the animals do not feel threatened by all of the visitors.

Many of the animals were sleeping, and it was quite cold, but we still enjoyed watching the animals undisturbed.

We enjoyed some hot chocolate to help warm us up.

By the end, Nora was tired and ready to go since she didn't really get a morning nap.

The plane had troubles after we boarded so a 1.5 hour flight turned into 2.5 hours and way past their bedtime so we were all antsy to get home.

The girls love yogurt.

Indie was so excited for her first day of preschool, which I was as well but also so sad that she is growing so quickly and able to do much more without me. She loved meeting new friends.

Adventure to the library. They have games and toys that you can play so we did that, and of course looked at some books.

Stealing my food...it's okay because they're cute.

For date night we tried going to an escape room, but it was full so we walked around some crazy festival at the Gateway and found this cool sign.

Indie so wants to be in primary and stand in the programs with them, so we let her stand by us and sing.

Fun at Mom and Rexy's.

Scouting locations for Roberts' family photos.

Our adrenaline junkie.

Keeping busy waiting for a prescription.

Adam loves Christmas music so I got him tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for his birthday. We loved their classic songs, but they lost us with a set of hard rock songs. They had some cool special effects like fire and 30 feet arms that the musicians would stand on and go straight in the air.

Indie wanted a picture with Diane's scarecrows.

Keeping ourselves entertained at Alisha's for Thanksgiving. We hung out while she finished cooking, stuffed ourselves silly, played a couple games while the girls napped, the boys went shooting and the kids had a little scavenger hunt outside. Indie wanted to do the hunt but quickly was over finding things on the list and wanted to do her own thing.

Kangaroo Zoo. Indie mostly love the big slide and doing somersaults off the obstacles on some of the inflatables. Nora had fun exploring.

We quickly got set up for Christmas after Thanksgiving. Adam is pro at fluffing the tree.

The tradition of the towel over the shoulder lives on.

Dance night. Nora kept squatting and both of the girls did somersaults. They have no hope with their genetics.
