Our bucket list adventures continue with three in one day!
We started out by driving to the north end of Denver to visit the Butterfly Pavilion. It isn’t a large facility, but it was pretty cool. A lot of learning opportunities with some aquatic animals, creepy crawly animals, and butterflies!
Beautiful butterflies aplenty!
Starfish!
The kids all got to hold Rosie, the tarantula!

By the time we were done at the Butterfly Pavilion, the kids were ready for some grub! We then headed to an attraction that is somewhat unique to Colorado: Casa Bonita. It was featured in a South Park episode once. I’ve been told by many people that you go for the experience, not the food. And boy, were they right! The food was fairly mediocre and definitely nothing to brag about. However, the water diving shows, the arcade, and the general atmosphere is what made that place worth trying out. Scott likened it to a place in Mexico called Escondido, I believe…the palm trees and the lights especially.
After leaving Casa Bonita, we stopped at the Cheesecake Factory to grab some cheesecake on the go. The only downside of our trip was that Scott’s throat has started to hurt over the past few days. It is because of the radiation they are doing on his spine. The radiation comes fairly close to the esophagus and causes tenderness, swelling, and pain. He’s been using liquid lidocane to help numb his throat, but it doesn’t work completely.
We finished out our evening by decorating the tree!
Even Scott was able to help decorate!
