Claire and Rosey the Tarantula!

I took the girls back to Denver to visit the family, and we had an amazing time. The flight out was a little rough because it was bedtime (7-10:30 pm flight), so that's my fault, but they still did great.

We stayed with Mema the first few nights, and the girls got to hang out and play there. Then we headed over to Nana's house for a few more days. The first day with Nana we went to the Butterfly Pavilion. Claire loved it, and was so excited to have butterflies flying all around her. They also had a bug area with spiders and beetles that we got to check out. In one area, they have Rosey the Tarantula, and people can hold her. Claire didn't want to at first because she's scared of spiders (just like mom!), but then changed her mind after Nana held the spider (which shocked me too because she's scared of spiders). So Claire stepped up and held her! She was so brave! I couldn't believe she did it. When she was done, she asked if she could hold her again. Atta girl! So proud of her!
