Exciting, Long, and Fun Day

Charis, as always was up at seven, urging me to make her breakfast. We got up ate breakfast and got ready to go to my work. I have to work one Sunday a month and Kris was going riding as part of the Employee appreciation party at his work today.

So Charis and I went to my work. We walked through the gardens, cleaning up, fixing signs, checking on ponds and irrigation and answering visitors questions. Then we released butterflies and walked around showing some kids a caterpillar before putting it on tree that it enjoys to eat. Charis loves the caterpillars, chrysalis and butterflies.
Then we went into the art exhibit, all origami, it was fun to see it with her. Some of the things looked so life like. She did great and kept her hands folded the whole time. I did not get any pictures with her in them but these were her favorite pieces.ButterfliesThere were lots of great pieces but Charis loved these four and kept running back to one of them.She played, ate a snack, cut up some paper and colored well for the remaining hour at work in my office while I got some inside work done.

Then off to the bike shop party. Which consisted of running around literately in a big circle, swimming, getting to drink juice boxes and Charis' favorite part - getting to eat a piece of cake. And of course playing with Mia. It was a hot, long but exciting and fun day.
