These pics just make me happy.
How can you look at this pic without smiling?
So much joy.
Her eyes as the water got higher…
Give me sunsets, sprinklers, and swings every day.
Now I just need a seperate house for the muddy wet children to go into afterwards.
I like to walk on a bike path near my husbands work.
We got a nice surprise on our last visit of hundreds of butterflies!
We would be walking and suddenly they were everywhere!
They really liked to land on the back of my neck.
It did freak me out a bit but I tried to keep my cool since I was the adult.
Ha
My girls went between loving it and freaking out.
They seemed to like my oldests’ daughters bright shirt.
My two younger girls were not very happy that they were not getting landed on.
I believe they are Painted Lady Butterflies.
Little bit was being chased by a butterfly.
This one did not want to leave and just hung out for a long time.
I decided this was a good time to try getting a shot with all my kids in it!
I was wrong.
I did not get one shot with everyone looking.
HA
Oh well, we will just go with a nice casual shot.
Trying to be super still so a butterfly will land on them.
She did not like her pet butterfly moving to her neck…
He thought it was funny.
She freaked out right after this.
Yes, I took a video.
But also I helped move the butterfly along.
Ha
She finally got a butterfly!
It ended up staying with her the rest of the time!
Her butterfly flew off before we could get one more pic.
This one did not want to leave.
I was told by one of my daughters that this was the best walk ever!
Check out the video I made of all the butterflies!
Warning, might contain squealing.
One of my girls heard about the fly-in on the radio and asked if we could go.
I had never been to one so I had no idea what to expect.
Right when we were parking a plane flew over our heads.
I think we could have left after that and my kids would have been impressed.
There was singing, impersonators, bounce houses, and tons of airplanes taking off and landing.
They might have gotten hot and tired towards the end but they had a good time.
This therapy dog was perfect timing.
We had just lost our dog the day before and they loved just sitting and petting her.
I loved that they told me she helps people calm down and so they were super calm while petting her.
Thanks for a great, kid friendly event!
