Butterfly Butterfly

Wednesday was a crazy day. But there was some good that came out of it. Leah and i met up with a friend at the butterfly conservatory. And let me just say this... call me weird, childish, whatever...but I'm not very fond of butterflies. I mean, yeah they're gorgeous, graceful little critters but, well, they creep me out. They're so sporatic and they land on you, in your hair and it just doesn't feel nice. But, despite my weird little thing I got going on with them, I took Leah anyways. Hand in hand, the girls walked, discovered and explored. There was even a class on a field trip that was sitting listening to one of the workers. Of course my kid, being who she is...tugged on her little friends hand and made her sit down with her at the back of the group. Some kids kind of gave them funny looks. Then, out of nowhere, I guess because it was too quiet for them, they started raising their hands yelling "oh, me! MEEE!" Ha. A glimpse into her future I guess.
I highly doubt my daughter will be the shy, quiet, loner kid that I was in school. For some reason, I'm thinking she's going to be the well known, candid, dauntless spunky little monkey. Maybe even Miss Popularity. Like her daddy was. (Yeah, I was the quiet, modest, shy girl who got the popular jockey --- hmm maybe I should write about how we met....got together...stuff? Yeah?) Needless to say, they got the attention they were seeking and they were darn cute doing so.
Once we got into the conservatory, it was HOT. Like, sweating your balls off in 2 mins kind of hot. That part wasn't great, and we had to take about 4-5 breaks and go back into the air conditioned part. Fewwf!
Leah was so in to it. She especially loved the little finches that, surprisingly, were extremely tame for a bird. She was saying "awww" and "pretty" quite a bit. I got some gorgeous pictures! We had such a good time.
