Turtles and Treats

Yesterday was a trip to Landmark Park to feed the turtles.

Shep named the turtle above "big guy". Pretty appropriate, I say. 

I've never seen a spider this big. She was just about as big as my hand!

GG was very happy about this swing. She can't hold on to a regular swing because of her cast so this was perfect. She had to borrow my sunglasses because, "THE SUN! IS SHINING! IN MY EYES! IN THIS SWING!". 

We left because Shep apparently doesn't do well in the heat. He wanted to be carried everywhere which made GG want to be carried because God forbid that one gets more attention from mommy than the other and then GG decided that her shoes hurt and then Shep sat down in the grass and cried and wouldn't move anywhere. I was never more happy than to finally get to my van and crank the a/c and the radio up and drown out all the whine. 

When we arrived home GG had treats from Grammy in the mailbox. 

They had discussed candy necklaces when we were visiting last. I don't think GG knew what they were.

So Grammy sent a little "happy". 

Perfect timing, because we all needed a little happy at that moment.

And she shared with her brother. Amazing. 

It was a fun, hot and happy day.

Emphasis on the hot.

And the happy.
