Heidi

Today is cleaning day here at the Gonzales house - so I wanted to download what I had from yesterday for pictures - plus we are backing up our pictures tonight and emptying our camera - all in prep :)

Anyways... Chris was Mr. Creepy and took our long lens to take pictures of Heidi playing with the neighbor kids. I guess they were playing school, but its really cute. They get along soooo well! We are lucky to have neighbors like them!

Once again, we were out and about on Saturday - first we bought a new umbrella for our patio - its coming this week and I'm SUPER excited! Its one of those that can stay out all year and it can cover the whole patio just about... don't worry - I'm sure I will take plenty of pictures once it arrives!

We decided to go to the natural history museum since it was raining outside. Heidi was super cute in her new outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Gonzales and she really wanted to wear her "church" shoes too.


Chris was nice enough to drop us off at the front door while he parked the car - so the overcast skies lent for some nice pictures... now if only Heidi was willing to model... so I got some goofy ones instead...


She insisted on standing next to the butt sculpture...

When we got to the museum, it was animal Olympic day - in order words - there were a bunch of stations that would put kids to a challenge trying to match the abilities of animals. Very cute. If you finished all stations you got a little prize at the end - Heidi chose a bumper sticker - ha. First we have daddy and Heidi trying to beat a hummingbird wing flap and then we have Heidi digging like a ground hog...

They had face painting - which Heidi is NOT about - but when she realized she could get something on her arm - she was all about it. It was just funny standing in line - the kids before Heidi:

  • A girl wanted her face like a leopard
  • A boy wanted his face like a lizard
  • Another boy got a details scorpion on his face

and Heidi...

She wanted a purple star on her arm... the lady goes - well that's a nice change of pace. :)


 After a quick outside tour of the animals and statues - our day came to an end... 

It was a nice Saturday...so nice we even saw a celebrity... who you might ask? Well Abe Lincoln... he eats Jimmy Johns... in case you were wondering...
