Due to Ed's work on the 2004
Hubble
Mission, we spent more than one month in Colorado at the Ball
Aerospace
Corporation
in Boulder. This allowed us to explore this rich and varied
state.
Ed spent much of Spring 2002 here, and Agnes and the
kids arrived on June16, 2002 (Father's Day).
The day after their arrival was Stephanie and Agnes' birthday.
We celebrated by going
to the Butterfly
Pavilion.
One is able to see Butterflies up close and see them emerge from their
chrysalis.
Here is Stephanie viewing one of the butterflies up close.
To his delight, this one landed on Christopher's shirt just after it
emerged from its Chrysalis.
This one landed on my shorts, and then proceeded to climb up on my
clothing....
...until it ended up near my shoulder, where it took its first flight.
Agnes making acquaintances with Rosie the Rose-haired Tarantula.
Some spiders make good pets, and this one is very friendly. For
her
bravery, Agnes received the sticker on her shirt : I held 'Rosie'.
