Paige's 17th Birthday and the Denver Aquarium

So Paige turned 17 today! Again, I have to seriously re-examine my paradigms and accept that she is now a young adult and ready for college!

She wanted to spend the day at the Denver Aquarium, so G'Pa Bernie, Paige, Daniel, Emma, and I (Laura wasn't feeling well; poor Craig had to work) headed up there this morning. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place with gorgeous exhibits.


Birthday morning means getting presents
