On the Sunday before last, Wesley, Mia, and I went to a BBQ shindig here in Oak Cliff with Wesley's friend, Jon, and his daughter, Harper. Mia and Harper have been around each other a few times before, but this was the first time that Mia has been old enough to really play. Mia does great with the other kids at school, but I realized that she has never had to share her toys at home before. No need to worry. The girls didn't seem to remember each other at first, but before long they were playing and having a good time. We all walked (well, the girls were in strollers) down to Davis where all of the BBQ was setup. There were other vendors there as well as a blues band, and the place was totally packed. Plus, it was H-O-T. We walked around a little bit, then went to find some BBQ for lunch. It was only a few hours into the event, but they were sold out of BBQ. I guess they underestimated how many people would show up. No big deal, we just walked across the street and ate pizza. Afterward, we got some ice cream and lemonade. By this time, the girls looked like they were melting so we went back to the house. We all met Jon's wife, Holly, and baby Jasper for dinner at a Mexican restaurant that evening. He's so adorable and such a good baby! I couldn't believe how quiet he was at dinner. He was the perfect little gentleman. Mia spotted the salsa right off the bat and wanted to try some. I thought she would take one bite, see that it was hot, and not touch the stuff again. I was wrong. She liked it! I was so mystified that I just kept watching her eat it. After a few minutes, I think it caught up with her. She started touching her mouth as though it was bothering her, so I took the salsa away. It turned out that the inside of her mouth wasn't hurting. Messy eater that she is, there was salsa all around her lips, and that area turned pink. I was worried at first, but it went away quickly, and she seemed to forget about it as she ate her nachos. Yeah, not the smartest decision ever by yours truly. No more salsa for that girl. She doesn't care anyway. She'd much rather have black bean dip, so everybody wins!
Mia and Harper had to say "hi" back and forth about seven times when we got to Davis like they hadn't seen each other just five minutes before.

They brought dozens of huge trees in for the event as well as a ton of plants. It was a really neat look.
Hmmm...what to have for dinner?
Yummy at first, and then...not so much.
