Heard Museum and Hope's Birthday

Today was Teacher Appreciation at the Heard Museum here in McKinney. We haven't been to the museum since we first moved here just three years ago. It's crazy how time flies by. We started out our morning by touring the museum, checking out the animals, and going through the butterfly exhibit. Later on that morning, we went to the live reptile showing and the kids got to pet a snake and a huge iguana. Shawn even got to volunteer to help people visualize how long boa constrictors are--he was on the floor with two other tall guys. At the end, we won a fabulous door prize--granite rock! Too bad it wasn't the color scheme I would pick out for our countertops in the new house. Ha!


Later on that evening, I went to Chuy's in Plano to celebrate Hope's 25th birthday. And, Miss Hope recently got engaged, so it was fun to see her ring in person. Faith will be her flower girl in October, so we've been practicing.
