Butterflies and Shopping

Today we ate a light breakfast before walking the dogs around the lake. Everyone did quite well but because there were so many dogs on the trail they were mainly leashed the entire time. We got home and got the dogs ready for the day. We headed off to the Butterfly Pavilion. Saya was still quite tired when we got there but she was super happy when she was able to touch the tarantula. We then headed to the sea creatures and she touched the star fish for the first time. Huge accomplishment! Then we headed in to see the butterflies and right when we got in one landed on mommy's shirt. Saya was not pleased and quite upset that it didn't land on her. We walked around a bit and headed out for the penny swirl thingy and the gift shop. Uncle got her a little present which she was super happy about. We played in Tropical Oddessy and then headed back to the butterflies to see the encounter. We sat down but the introduction was a bit too long so we decided to leave. Saya was into the gift shop again so auntie followed.

We then stopped at Pho Duy for some lunch. Saya was dead asleep and uncle carried her while we all ate lunch. We switched off and Saya woke up and wanted to eat noodles too. She had a great time and loved uncle's soup. We then headed home and auntie and uncle took the dogs out to the dog park and then stopped at the doggie store for some goodies for the kiddos. We then decided to go shopping before dinner and headed to the mall.

We got home just in time to eat our beer brat dinner. It was a long but great day and Saya was beat.
