The weather was a little hot, but we still managed to get out to the park a few times and play in the backyard everyday. This was made extra special with the addition of a jump rocket the grandparents brought (see pics).
We also took the girls to Dinosaur Ridge one morning. It's an area where you can check out dinosaur tracks on the side of a mountain (and a few fossils). Kara enjoyed the tour, while Emily loved the plaster dinosaurs in front of the visitors center.
At the end of the week, Papa, Mommy, and Kara went to visit Daddy for family day at work. There was ice cream, which was a huge hit with Kara! Daddy also arranged for a simulator tour for Dream Chaser. Kara's favorite part was one of Daddy's coworkers who has his cubical completely decked out with Hello Kitty! decoration. Daddy also took Papa on a factory tour, but couldn't check out the Dream Chaser spacecraft since it is currently being overhauled. Oh, well, next time!
We ended the visit with a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion. Kara's favorite part was holding Rosie the Tarantula, but she also enjoying looking at all the cool bugs and butterflies. Kara was quite disappointed, however, that she couldn't get a butterfly to land on her. Meanwhile, Emily treated us with saying her first word, or, at least, the first word that sounded exactly like it was supposed to. She was watching the bees in the beehive and shouted "Bee!" Other than the bees, she also enjoyed walking up and down the stairs and watching the butterflies. We had so much fun that we got season passes, so let us know if anybody wants to hit the Butterfly Pavilion with us!
