Our next and last visitor was Aunt Aubrey. She came to meet Lucy on the weekend of Ty's THIRD Birthday! Naturally, there was a lot of partying. Ty wanted a "Mack" birthday (from the Disney movie Cars), so I had several plans including riding go-karts, but it was yucky weather, so we headed to the Lafayette Rec Center for their cool pool!
Lucy and I waited outside of the water, but Lucy seemed pretty pleased that it was her brother's birthday! This is the most she had ever smiled to this point.
That night, we partied at Chick Fil A, where Ty got his own Mack Hauler truck! He opened more presents at home where he got plenty more gifts.
Aubrey and I made the Mack Cake, and Ty was so pleased, he almost cried the next day when he realized some of Mack was gone.
He even had to call in his new Blade Ranger to help put out the fire on his cake.
Aubrey perfectly captured Ty "cuddling" with his sister. He does this often:
She also got some cute pictures of little Lucy.
Her last day there was the nicest, so we packed another party in. We headed to Gateway Fun Park in Boulder to play at the arcade. Ty had a blast.
We completed Ty's party with some "race car" rides. Between Aubrey and me, Ty went three times!
On our way to the airport, we stopped at Hammond's Candy Factory for the free tour and some candy samples. We made good time until the freeway exit where we were stuck for about ten minutes. We kept wondering what was going on and why so many people were walking by, until Aubrey realized it was 4/20 in Colorado. This means there are marijuana festivals all over, but they are legal in Colorado. We were stuck in the middle of likely the biggest Pot Festival in the country! Traffic mystery solved.
Candy mission complete.
We had a great time with Aubrey and all of our visitors. Ty loves visitors so much and is sad when they leave. Luckily, one little girl who came to "visit" gets to stay forever!
