Catching up on all the Holidays

First is Thanksgiving.  We went to Cheyenne to see Leevi, Susan and Adam.  The weather was great.  We flew from S.F. to Denver and they got us from the airport.  thanks09-10

It was very busy and luckily we signed up for a tour so we didn't have to wait in line.

We had a tour that took us behind the scenes so we could see how the Academy operates.  This is the pipes for the water in all the tanks in the aquarium.

This is the rain forest display.  It is an incredible building.  If you ever get a chance to be in San Francisco try to make some time to visit the Academy of Science.  We started at 11:00 A.M. and left at 4:30 and we didn't see everything.
