Butterflies and Ice Cream

Today, I brought the girls to Collin Creek Mall where we got to see the Butterfly Exhibit. It is put on each year for a few days and is sponsored by the Plano Kiwanis Club. They set up a big tent full of butterflies, give the kids Q-tips with gatorade on it and then you watch as they land all over the kids. It is lots of fun, and Audrey definitely got into the chasing! Unfortunately, Audrey's mobility resulted in the death of one butterfly when Audrey's shoe crushed it on the ground. Ella was sure to inform everyone that "Audrey killed a butterfly." Audrey was also willing to put them in her mouth, so we didn't get to spend more than about 30 minutes inside.

Hard to see--but the butterfly is on the orange flower. Audrey was amazed!

Nothing better!

We headed up to the food court for an afternoon snack and Ella chose an ice cream cone that was practically as big as her head. This child barely eats anything, but managed to take down the whole thing--that's my girl!!
