Mattie meets the Mayor

Denver's mayor, Mayor Hickenlooper, moved into our neighboorhood, about a 1/2 mile form our house and just a few blocks from Mattie's preschool. We were invited to come to a "welcome to the neighboorhood" party for him back in January. He's a very popular mayor and a down to earth kind of guy. I talked with him for a while and soon found myself way over my head in the conversation on different city and transportation policies in Denver vs. Aurora where I work!

Mattie enjoyed meeting him as we were about to leave. She wanted to show him her "kitty"! He was very sweet and I snapped this picture of there meeting:
