Science Fair


   Weekends around here have just been so busy!  We certainly pack a ton of fun into two days.  We have been having so much fun.  Two weekends ago, we had a particularly busy weekend.  It started on Saturday morning when Ashlyn had a birthday party to go to.  
    After her party, we picked up the rest of the family and headed to a local dessert company that had a fall festival.  There were all sorts of yummy desserts to sample.  They had a face painter there that was amazing.  She was by far the best face painter I have ever seen.  She was quick too.  We got a Frozen face and a Spiderman.  
    After we stuffed ourselves with tasty treats, we were off to our next destination.  We went to a science day at UCCS which it was the college both Joey and I went to.  It was really neat to see the campus because I don't think I have been back since I graduated more than 10 years ago!  It has changed and grown immensely.  The science event was so cool.  We went on a whim to check it out and I am so glad we went.  Gracie slept most of the time in her stroller, but Ashlyn and Dawson had a blast.  Ashlyn loves science and she loved getting to try new things.  They made slime.  They played with Legos.  They also had really neat science demonstrations.  We went to one where a scientist filled balloons with different chemicals and lit them on fire.  The explosions were pretty neat.  We also went to a physics show that had all sorts of different science experiments and demonstrations.  It was a very fun activity.  We definitely to be going back next year.
    After the science event, we grabbed a quick lunch and headed to Denver for a housewarming party of some friends of ours.  After some more fun, we headed back home.  We got home just in time for bed.  The next day, we were invited to one of Ashlyn's friends houses to watch football.  Their house is the ultimate kid house and the kids had a blast playing with lots of kids and new toys.  We ended the weekend with our usual family dinner.  
    What a weekend!  We had so much fun.
