Butterfly Pavilion & Kite Festival

This weekend started out with a bang with a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion on Saturday! We have never been before, and we weren't too sure what to expect. We were mostly just hoping Julian would look around and enjoy being out (and stay awake long enough to see a few things).

The Butterfly Pavilion begins with a bug exhibit - mostly spiders - so we moved past that pretty fast. There were a few fish tanks next, and Julian seemed to take notice.

Next up - the butterflies!



















It was very humid and hot in there and Julian was starting to get sleepy, so we called it a day.

On Sunday, we had a little family time with Grandma and Grandpa Maestas, Aunt LeAnn, Uncle Michael, Rylee, Uncle Eric and Joe!

It was nice to spend time with everyone for the first time in a little while since the three of us have been sick the past two months!


 
 
After our visit, we drove to the Arvada Kite Festival to enjoy a nice walk, fresh air, and nearly 70 degree weather. Kites galore! It was a cool sight and Julian loved looking around and taking it all in. We found a spot and laid out a blanket to sit and play for a little bit.
 











After spending time at the Kite Festival, we went for a walk around Sloan's Lake to work up our appetite for pizza at the Edgewater Inn. Julian had a great time playing at the table and trying to grab everything in sight.

All in all it was a really fun weekend! We hope the good weather continues so we can keep going on fun and new adventures as a family.

Here are some snapshots of Julian playing, eating, and sleeping:
