Finley spent the morning playing with a variety of toys, all great fun. She pulled lots of toys out of her cabinet and piled them on a blanket for playtime. Then she climbed up to the terrace for more bubble time and some time on the pedal bike. A little exercise does a girl good, right?
After morning playtime, we took a ride to Lake Houston and enjoyed lunch on the water. Finley tried that infamous seafood: a corn dog. After our sumptuous fare, Finley cried, "Walk!" So we took a sun-filled stroll along the restaurant dock. We spotted some fish and swooping birds. Finley did not want to leave, even though the sun was blazing hot.

Good-bye! Meerkat has followed us everywhere all day long, and so he once again accompanied us on a walk to collect the mail. After dinner a special treat was planned and off we went on another ride, and we found ourselves at a gelato cafe at journey's end. Of course, we did this with Mommy and Daddy fresh on our minds after Skyping. Since Finley so adores strawberries, I chose vanilla and strawberry gelato for her. She enjoyed scooping her gelato, but she had an eye on my gelato, and quick as a snake she struck, and snatched some of my chocolate. From then on her little dish was quickly abandoned, and mine disappeared in a blink, compliments of Finley. The cry of "Walk!" once again resounded, and Finley was off, scampering through a tunnel and then round and round a fountain. Time for bath and night-night, as tomorrow is a party day!      |
