Then we decided to head down to the Children's Museum of Denver for the afternoon.

| Alex and I worked on part of an enormous wooden train set |
 |
| Could it be? Genevieve the fire fighter? |
 |
| Alex and Genevieve had fun playing in the kid-size Whole Foods mock-up |
 |
| Both of our kids are natural dancers. They loved the dance floor and the props |
 |
| Could it be? Alex the scientist? |
 |
| The bubble exhibit was a huge hit. And since we were there late in the afternoon we had the place to ourselves! |

After the museum, our plan was to head downtown to look for some ice cream. However we realized only after we reached downtown that it was the night of the annual Christmas parade. There was NO parking to be found whatsoever within 10+ blocks of downtown since the parade was starting in less than an hour! Much as we would have liked to stay to watch the parade, in our haste leaving the house earlier we had not packed any warm coats, and it was starting to get very chilly.
So instead we headed north to see where Dana's new office is likely to be. We also found an awesome Mexican restaurant across the street, Laguna's, that may become a new favorite. Finally, after dinner we finally got our ice cream. There was a Dairy Queen in the same shopping center!
Today was quite a bit more relaxed than yesterday. We barely left the house, but still managed to have fun. It was finally time to rake up the last of the leaves in the back yard. I was actually busy working on plans for replacing one of our kitchen cabinets while Dana and Alex headed outside. By the time Genevieve woke up from her nap and she and I headed outside, A & D were already knee-deep in leaves - literally!

Whew! I am exhausted just looking at the pictures and reading the blog! It looks like the Stangel Jr. family had a fabulous weekend. P.S. I love Alex's haircut.
Wow, great weekend! Mine wasn't nearly as fun...
I want to see the bubble exhibit at the children's museum - how cool!
And I like Alex's new do, too.
Love,
Aunt Ali
Dan, Alex looks a lot like your cousin Michael at 3-1/2 years old! Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend! Great pix - thanks!
I was thinking that with the striped t-shirt and hair, Alex looks a lot like his daddy at that age, but I think that grin might come from his mommy's side of the family! At any rate, he's one cutie pie!
whoa Ho! What a fun blog! My gosh busy busy....I like Ali want to go to the bubble machine!
A great weekend and a terrific entry on your blog, thank you Dan-0
