Taking in the Scenery and Making Friends at the Houston Garden Center

I hit the park in pushing and riding my stylish Dora scooter.

All that exercise sure did make me thirsty.

Stop to pose.

Here's my belly shot.

Now it is on to more serious business...stick collection.

and spending a little time with figures of more social relevance than Elvis, like Mahatma Gandhi
.

It is important, nonetheless, never to rush through life so quick that you don't stop to smell the roses, or in this case random pretty red flowers.

They tickle my nose just a little bit.

Sorry mom. I'm on the move again.

Where to next?

Off to mingle of course.

I even got to hang out with some four-legged friends.

Hey, where did everybody go?

Wow, I'm not sure, but the ceiling here sure is something.

I think this bench is just perfect for my growing stick collection.

Here I come with more.

Let me see, I need to get them all Feng Shui-ey.

I am the Queen of stick collecting.

Wait, I have yet another surprise.

TAA-DAAAH!

Just as we were getting ready to hit the road, my new friend Sophie arrived. She was my age and really showed appreciation for my stick collecting abilities.

Here dad showed us how to rub sticks together to make fire. It was pretty neat but we still eventually had to bounce to go home and get dinner.
