Butterfly Exhibit

Saturday morning Quinn and I went downtown to see the Butterfly Exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. This was our 2nd playdate this year. I thought it would be so great for Quinn to see the butterflies flying around, but she had other thoughts. It wasn't quite her cup of tea. She was a little overwhelmed by the steam to keep the temperature at a balmy 80 degrees, as well as the, um... butterflies fluttering around! But she was a pretty good sport and she hung in there enough for me to enjoy the sights and get a couple of pictures.

Wow... this is a lot to take in

Don't ask me to name the species...

They were everywhere!

Look Mom, do you see the butterfly on the floor?

Well, peek-a-boo!

I invited TJ and Lily along and was happy to see them both again. It had been over a year since Quinn and Lily had seen each other, but they became fast friends and even held hands at one point when we were walking down the stairs to get some lunch. Too precious - of course, we didn't have our cameras out for the photo op. However, I did get this one, which is pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!

I know, we are just too cute together!

After we finished up with lunch we went outside for a little while to play (translation - let the girls run around while TJ and I could catch up a little). Quinn and Lily saw the carousel and wanted a ride, so I jumped on with them. Apparently, poor TJ has a severe aversion to anything that spins. And I can safely say, that while that sort of stuff really doesn't bother me, TJ wouldn't have liked that carousel one bit! Check out the picture she got of us 3 enjoying the horses!

It was a good day. When we got home, we each took a well-deserved nap before we headed out for our evening plans.
