This weekeedn we had another fun filled weekend with Soleil...in the HOT, HUMID HEAT of North Dallas! The day started a little later than normal, so we started off with lunch at Chili's. Soleil surprised me adn ordered some ribs. Now, I have LOVED ribs since I was around her age and my mom has a photos of me eating ribs with BBQ sauce all over my face...we took a very similar photo of Soleil...
After lunch, Soleil and I needed to freshen up our lipstick...
Then we were off the the Heard Museum...This is where the day got hot. 90% of this museum is outdoors!!! It is an outdoor preserve that shows 3 different ecosystems that you can walk through: wetlands, prairie, and woodlands. You can see how they had a wooded trail for everybody to walk on...
They also had a butterfly exhibit outside that we walked through that was FULL of butterflies!!! Here is a photo I took of Soleil watching one of them on a flower...
After doing a fair amount of walking, we were all sweating profusely and were quite tired. We decided it was time for a little break...
After a short break, we began to walk again, when Soleil started to complain of blisters. We checked out her feet and sure enough, she had two large blisters on each of her feet. So we had her take her shoes off and Winston gave her a piggy back the rest of the way back. Which was about a 1/2 mile!!!
So, we made it out of the Heard museum and decided it was time to go swimming. While Winston and Soleil went swimming, I ran to Office Depot and got Soleil all of her school supplies. Included in that was a Jonas Brothers backpack. We were the hero for finding it, as she told us that her and her Nana had looked for a Jonas backpack all year last year!!! After I picked up all of the supplies, I met up with them at the pool. In this photo below, Soleil is wearing the swimming "gear" we got her. This "gear" consisted of flippers, goggles and a snorkel! What fun!
We had a lot of fun with her as usual! However, the time just goes by too fast. Even Soleil said that she wishes she could spend more time with us, which is wonderful to hear. She is a joy to be around!
After dropping Soleil off, Winston and I stopped for a cold beer and some dinner. It had been a LONG day!!!
