A Visit to The Butterfly House!

For a perfect recap of the day, please check out Steff's blog.  We had a blast!  Since she did the perfect job, I'm going to keep this to just a few of my favorite things from the day...along with some photos!

Courtesy of Little Miss Josie there were many laugh out loud moments...some of them include...after asking Owen “How ya doing bud??” Josie told me “Don’t call him Bud. He’s not a bud.” How right you are Josie. He’s is in fact an Owen! Owen was called Lil’ Owen by Josie several times, which made me giggle.  She also had me in stitches while touring the butterflies because she opened her map and showed us how far we had to go and which way.  After awhile of running around she started staying she was sweating and hot while brushing her hair out of her face. This was followed with “When are we going inside? It's so hot!” It was classic and absolutely adorable!

I think, however, the most memorable (and scary) part for me was when I took a step back to photograph Owen and Josie admiring the waterfall. Owen did not stop where Josie stood. He barreled right on through, landed on his hands and knees in a muddy puddle just at the water’s edge!  I’m glad he didn’t end up in the pond…or I’m pretty sure we would have gotten black listed from the Butterfly House.  Oops!

Isn't Josie cute?  She was loving it!  AND I should have been watching Lil' Man as he ran as fast as his chubby legs could take him toward her.  It was my warning...and I missed it! 

Right before the crash!

Some Aunt Steff hugs (and restraint) as we convinced him the second time around NOT to go in the water!

We capped off the afternoon at this Carousel.

It was $1 a person and so much fun!  Steff and I had a blast chasing kids, taking pictures and running around like banshees! Here’s to the days of summer!!
