  1. Looks like you guys are having a great time! How did you go 2.9 miles without pedaling? Was this after the 8 songed hill? Have fun!

  2. In fairness to Keeper Harry, you do ask a lot of really difficult science questions. Don't think I don't remember how long it took you and Steph to make it through the Denver Aquarium.

  3. in fairness to austin, you do have a problem with sequential questioning - never seem to stop thinking about that first one. maybe you and keeper Harry are soul mates in rumination

  4. Keep those numbers coming!
    Steph, I only realized today that there really is a Cafe Stephanie: I thought Austin was making you do all the cooking! Saw that sign in the photos today! And since you have Steph and Nana covered, how about adding a name search to the Scavenger Hunt...and a beer tasting vote on your discoveries?
