june 11th:
went to the butterfly exhibit at the conservatory. it wasn't the best day to go... it was very cloudy and the butterflies (even though they are inside) were not at all active. :( but we still had a nice time.
holy cow! look! a picture with ME in it!!! ha ha ha!
here's a shot of bean looking through some glasses that let you see like a bug. you know, compound eyes and all that. she thought it was pretty neat!
then we stopped by the butterfly "hatchery" to see some "fresh" butterflies. ;) it was pretty cool to see. these butterflies here look pretty drab on the outside but are iridescent blue on the inside! :)*insert 2 playdates and a trip to the library here*
june 15th: bean's aunt and uncle came up from texas just to see her!! they took her and sprout to the zoo and left mommy and daddy at home. for a while mommy had NO idea what to do with herself!
aunt and uncle spoil bean and let her get her face painted like a kitty! :)
later that night, after sprout headed off to bed, we made smores. mmmmmm smores! (i think she had 3!)
then we let her play with sparklers!!!! OMG!!!!!
OMG! OMG! OMG!!!it was like the greatest thing she had ever experienced. we went through about 25 sparklers in just a matter of minutes! :)
then daddy left for las vegas. he played in a world series of poker event. he finished in about 700th place out of 2700 people. not too bad but it doesn't win you any money. :(
while daddy was gone we went and visited my family.... but let's save that for another day, shall we? :)

I nearly fell out of my chair in shock when I saw you had posted a photo of yourself. ;-} You're really almost just like I pictured you!
Busy, busy summer eh? And good heavens how your kids have grown in the last month! Tell them to slow down, will ya? :)
NICE - a photo of you! And that face painting is ridiculous! Holy cow - that is really cool. Sparklers scare me...I'm impressed with Bean!
Hoorrrraaaaaayyyy! She's back!!!! I am lovin this catch-up! 700th is pretty darn good, but like the sailing race....no money :-(
How do you define smores? Are they like...anything cooked on a campfire?
arizaphale- a smore is a delicious combination of graham cracker, chocolate and a toasted marshmallow made into a little "sandwich". mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! :)
what an awful lot of fun times! Especially your kid-free day at home while they were at the zoo. HA!
