holiday wrap up: thanksgiving

as always, november and december flew by. and since we were waiting for the new year to ring in (because emmigration permits in korea begin processing again) i was okay with the whirlwind. so. here is thanksgiving in denver, christmas in sierra vista and then again in tucson.

beniah did great driving through the night to denver for thanksgiving. while on our way to the butterfly pavilion he began navigating for us.

b had fun outside playing catch with dada. he's slowly understanding what catch means-before if we tossed him a (usually) volleyball he would throw out his arms and then turn around so he wouldn't get hit by it. haha. so this is an improvement!

our family outing was to the butterfly pavilion. they had a room full of anachnids (spiders)..and cochroachs and..lets just say things i wasn't totally excited about. but the bees there were pretty amazing to watch-behind glass, because i'm afraid of bees.

phyllis LOVES finding nemo..so they watched the clownfish for awhile.

and then b got to touch one.

watching the releasing of new butterflys into the greenhouse.

brand new butterflys!

the butterfly pavilion was a lot of fun. they had a big greenhouse filled with butterflys just milling around and an area where cocoons hatched while you watched. pretty amazing stuff. they also had a short zipline and b took full advantage.

beniah had a ton of fun in denver. he talks about going back all the time. :)
