Grandma Linda and Oliver checking out the bugs.
Oliver enjoyed the huge display of cockroaches. Mommy did not. Reminded me of living in Florida!
Daddy and Oliver looking at the scorpions. You know they're bad when they put a case inside a case!
The Butterfly House was beautiful, gorgeous plants, and tons of butterflies. Thus, it was also very humid, and my lens fogged up. I thought I got it wiped off enough, but apparently not. Think of it as artistic effect.

Daddy and Oliver, and the cheesy grin, ride the carousel in the park nearby.
Note the growing storm clouds out the window. This was when the tornado sirens started, so we left. We were parked in a gas station parking space (safe during a storm, right?!) when the bad winds hit. We were very lucky, as there were tornadoes in other parts of town.
Back at the house, Oliver became obsessed with weighing himself.
Hanging out before dinner.
Family friend Deenie helps with the puzzle.
Seriously, does this sweater make me look fat?
My own little Jackson Pollock, making art with pudding.
He told us he was drawing a doggie, so Deenie tries to find it.
Love pudding!
Don't you see the doggie? It's right there!
Bob and Oliver became fast friends, which is unusual for Oliver who cried and clung to me at the sight of strange men the whole trip. I wish I had gotten a picture of it, but just after this, Oliver took Bob by the hand and made him walk around the Christmas tree with him.
Riding the horsey with Deenie.
Oliver's bedtime came long before midnight, so he said goodnight. He even gave Bob a kiss! Friends for life!
The next day we flew back to Connecticut, where Santa made a late stop, and we had our own Christmas celebration. Highlights to come!
