Museum of Nature & Science

My client's family recently joined the Museum of Nature & Science, sweet!!  It's so nice to be able to get out of the house and do things to keep busy, especially in the winter (even though it was 62 degrees today).  

The morning started off by my client insisting he had to get ready for "work" and I needed to help get him dressed right away bc you can't go to work in your pajamas, duh.

Soo... we got dressed and I set up a little office for him so he could get his work done & we could go to the museum.

Laptop, breakfast, coffee, cell phone, business cards- what else could you need?

Ok now down to business (or not).....

The first area we hit was the Wildlife Halls

 Flying Squirrel :)

Doesn't look like much but it had a great view of city park & the city

Next we hit up the Native American section

Forget what this area was called....

 Pointing out where mommy works

 They have an IMAX but we didn't go in today

This was the body/health area. You 'sign in' with a card they give you on the computer and put in your age, etc. and then the different activities are tailored to you.

Chest bump!

Scary!

Snack break

Last area we got to was the space area

 

Back home again being silly.

Can't wait to go back and explore what we didn't get to see (and they are building on a new section just for little kids, woohoo)!

Happy Friday!

Steak, Football, Brunch & Concert

On Friday night Christian & I were lucky enough to enjoy dinner at Morton's Steakhouse to celebrate our birthdays (we had a gift card). 

 

Union station is across the street

We started with some oysters (figured they'd be safe from Morton's).  I had never had one before (gasp!).  Eh.  I could only taste the horseradish. 

Then we each had some steak (of course) and shared the brussel sprouts (also a first for me, but they had bacon on them so I knew they'd be good, and they were!) and some spinach and mushrooms. 

We got the leftovers wrapped up and had the molten chocolate lava cake thingy (ppl told me a must have).  I wouldn't usually order this but it was delish!

On Saturday afternoon I slept in a bit (shocker), cleaned the house and ran some errands.  Carolyn & Will came over at 5 and we headed to Boulder to our friends Michelle & Kyle's house to watch the Bronco's/Pat's game. Meaghan and Pete also joined us.  

My fake Bronco's shirt- Boise State

Tough loss Bronco's.   The game wasn't so exciting but we had fun.   

Things turned ugly when Michelle busted out the Wii karaoke. 

Sunday we went to a vegetarian place down the street for a healthy-ish brunch.  The wait was over an hour and a half, sheesh!  So we bailed and went to another place 1/2 block from our house, Parallel 17. 

I had the BLT (amazing)

Yep, eggs on top.

Christian had mini breakfast sandwich's. 

Apparently the order ticket fell and we waited a long time so they paid for our drinks and brought us dessert, which we just wrapped up bc we were so full.  Nice of them though.

We were supposed to run after our healthy-ish brunch but I just couldn't after this!  Christian is a real go-getter and still went for a quick run.

The day kind of got away from us.  I had an errand to do then I showered and hung out for a bit before we headed to our friends Brent & Eller's.  They had a bunch of people over for pizza & drinks before we all headed to a theater called the Ogden (down the street from us) for a concert.  I had never heard of the band ha.  They were called Fitz & the Tantrums.

Two bands played before them for a bit.
No idea what the first one was called.





The real opening act was "Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr"  Mmmhm thats right.

 

 



 


Kevin, for some reason I picture you reaching into your pocket and pulling out this list:

 

Names for My Band:

Hurricane Christmas

Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr

Jim Gardner Fan Club

They were pretty good.  Then the Fitz came on.  They had a girl with a tambourine who was really good (she kind of made the show I thought.  She was born in Denver).   We left around 11 bc I had to work today :(

Some quick videos:

 

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm beat!

Wonderful Weather

Today the weather was in the 60's... what a nice treat!

After spending so much time indoors with my client:

We finally got to spend a day outside, and what better place to go then the zoo!

Carolyn and one of her clients met us there, too.

We hurried in to make the 10:15 penguin feeding :)

sun was bright.

Single file please!

You really can't tell but these were the TINIEST little deer (fawns)!! I wanted to sneak one into my purse diaper bag sooo badly!!

peek-a-boo!

I enjoyed the weather, not I have to go pray for snow....

Happy Friday.

Happy Birthday Husband!
