My mom’s husband, Steve, loves to take the kids on adventures.  He sends them invitations via e-mail to special “events” and outings and they love every bit of it.  On Saturday, he took them to the Heard Museum, where there was a butterfly exhibit. 

He brought us all McDonald’s for breakfast (which I love…shamefully).  And then with me and Nana in tow, the boys all headed to the museum.  The butterfly exhibit turned out to be smaller and less spectacular then we had hoped, but thankfully for us this was not the only thing they had.  They also had some animal exhibits (ring-tailed lemurs (which as a sidenote I SWEAR I saw in Hawaii but no one believes me), porcupines, wallabies, and other animals whose names I cannot remember or pronounce!).  AND they had what turned out to be my kids’ favorite exhibit – SNAKES of Texas!  One rattled at us.  Several hissed (smelled) us.  Some climbed the walls of their very small cages.  And some laid there like all snakes and people should when it’s over 100 degrees outside.  They even had a little snake “whisperer” who gave us some interesting facts and let the kids touch a corn snake.  Very fun.

I love outings like that, and so do the kids.  Thanks for the adventure, Pops and Nana.  And for the stuffed snakes and t-shirt from the gift store!
