I'm glad I'm not a pioneer

The Texas bugs creep me out now, I cannot imagine living in Texas in a soddy or even a simple wooden house with no pest control.  Or plumbing.  And an outdoor toilet.  Blech.

It was a really gorgeous day -- mid 80s, low humidity -- perfect.

Despite the morning from, well you know, Megan had a great time with our friends and was very good for the trip (oh, another one to the Arboretum, sorry).

Abby seemed quite content to be a pioneer girl.  She didn't want to get out of the wagon . . . 

Tried to take a nap in the sod house . . . 

Loved exploring of course . . . 

And even tried her hand at some cooking (no fire, just dirty water and leaves in the pot).
 It's just one more reason to be grateful that I live in THIS time.  I think I would forever be chasing this girl out of danger because of her curiosity.

And oh yes, Megan got her face painted as a kitty cat again.  Purple this time.  But not surprising.  I think we're running out of colors . . .

I like the purple best I think. Very striking.
