Make A Wish ~ Day 5

Day 5...I really thought we would be ready to call it quits and be on our way home way before this.  Here we are on day 5 and everyone is just as excited as day 1.  I am a home body and I would have been okay to come home but we were having so much fun it was easy to stay.  Bentley wanted to stay at Cherry Creek forever! 
Bentley doing the "call me maybe" dance.  He and Abby love this
 and whenever the song comes on the dance begins. 
On our way the the Planetarium we passed the Butterfly Pavilion sign and thought we would stop because we had heard from several people that it was a must see.  We stopped and Abby and I went in to check prices and how much time it would take.  I told the lady at the desk what we were doing and she let us take a quick look to see if Owen would like it.  I am so glad she did that because I don't think Owen would have liked it so well.  The butterfly part was so hot and humid.  We ran through quickly and went back out to tell Lenn what we found out.  Abby wanted to go back and get a good look so she and I went back and paid and went through.  Bentley and Lenn were more than happy to sit with Owen while we did this!  We thought is was pretty cool.  The butterflies and flowers were beautiful.
They had an aquarium room and it was really neat and colorful but after being at the aquarium it seemed really small.  They also had an insect room, we didn't spend too much time in there after Abby saw people holding a tarantula!  She grabbed my arm and said 'let's go!'.
Our main purpose for the day was to go to a laser show at the Planetarium at the University of Colorado.  A friend had told us about laser shows so Make a Wish found one.  I am sure it was one of Owen's favorites on the trip.  He grinned from the time the stars came on in the dome until the whole show was over.  He loves lights so I am so glad we got to do this.

Outside the Planetarium.  Inside that dome in the background is where the show took place.

We saw that there was a Landry's restaurant so on the way back from the Planetarium we found one and stopped to eat.  The kids and I aren't huge seafood fans but we did it for name's sake.
(For those who don't know we have a little angel named Landry.) 
The manager was so nice he came out and took our picture in front of the sign and they sent us home with a menu.  I am sure the kids won't be going back to a seafood place anytime soon but I bet they won't forget going to Landry's.
