We were supposed to have a play date today at the park with McKenna and Jace, but when we woke up this morning it was raining. Since we were already in Grapevine, we decided to go to Paradise Pond. It's an old sanctuary at the First Baptist Church of Grapevine. Angelo was amazed at all the trucks they had. He had a great time playing. The only slight problem was leaving. Angelo wanted to take this 'mixer' with us and when I wouldn't let him he had a full blown meltdown! Love those terrible twos! Next time I will go prepared with a stash of trucks in my purse to entice him out the door! These next two pics are with my iphone... excuse the poor quality! I had forgotten my camera! YIKES!
in amazement of all the trucks!
Intense concentration
This evening Lola, Angelo and I headed out to the Southlake Butterfly "Festival" (if that's what they call a festival??!... it's just a tent) to meet up with Dominic, Mattie and Mandy. Angelo enjoyed seeing the butterfly and catching them on his stick. Apparently they eat watermelon, so if you hook some watermelon on the stick they will stay there for a little bit. A new experience at least for us.
Angelo got a butterfly balloon after... not sure why, but he wanted a pink one! lol Too many pink things around here these days...or not enough daddy time??!. Well, his balloon lasted all of about 4 minutes. He kept putting it in the grass so it would pop. Pretty soon, nothing left!
After we decided to go to Mi Cocina to eat. Lola pretty much screamed the entire time. It was way too loud for her. She did enjoy a brief minute looking at herself in the mirror. Thank God for Mandy since she had to entertain Angelo and feed him since I was busy dealing with Lola the whole time. Ok, so we are at Mi Cocina and we take a look outside and it's POURING down rain. Hmmmm. How is this going to work I'm thinking in my head??? I have a baby, a stroller and a two year old that I have to somehow get in the car and get home before more meltdowns ensue. Well, thank God for Mandy once again. She didn't even hesitate to say, "GIVE ME YOUR KEYS! I'll go get your car!" I mean, really? How awesome is that? She ran out to my car and parked it right in front and put the stroller in for me??!! Then took Angelo and put him in while I took Lola. Poor Mandy was drenched to say the least! (too bad I don't have a picture of that!lol) I offered to take her to her car, but she just said, "Hey, I'm already wet!" LOL So, it was an experience to say the least!!! Next time we should probably check the forecast.
