On Saturday, we took Mia over to east Dallas to check out a used bookstore we haven't been to before. We don't usually buy books new unless we see something we don't want to wait to find second-hand. Half Price Books is usually our go-to bookstore, but you never know what gems you'll find at the small local bookstores. This place had so many books that it was overwhelming. I found a book that has been on my reading list for half price, and I got Mia some basically brand new Dr. Seuss books. Six books for about $25. Love it! I saw the same books at Wal-Mart for $9 a piece...uh, no thanks. Mia loves to look at books. We read to her all of the time. If we aren't available, she'll just start reading them to herself and making up a story to go along with the pictures. Last night I read her five stories at bedtime. My voice was starting to get a little hoarse by the fifth book.
After the bookstore, we drove to downtown Dallas to the Main Street Garden park. They have a small fountain area that you can walk through if you want. The park is free, and it was HOT outside (still over 100 degrees), so we put on Mia's bathing suit and let her run around. She had fun, but we never could get her to run all of the way through the fountain.
Today, the weather has been heavenly! Mia and I took a walk this morning, and it's only 70 degrees outside with a cool breeze! We had a great walk with Mia calling, "Hi!" and "Good morning!" to everyone we saw. She thought she had to pick up all of the neat things she came across. By the time we got home, we had five pecans, two sticks, a leaf, and an acorn. Mia said that the acorn looked like a cupcake.
