During the last week of June
Alana and Tyler decided to check out the annual butterfly exhibit at the Santa Barbara
Natural Histoy Museum. There were hundreds of butterflie eveywhere and if you
stood still long enough they would even land on you. Alana had a great time
watching them, but Tyler was a little too active for them to get near him. He
couldn't stay till long enough for them to land and then when they would get
close he would freak out and wave his hands around to shoo them away. Oh well,
maybe next time.
After the museum they went over to Chase Palm Park across from
the beach and had lunch near the duck pond. Tyler was going to go on the
carousel there, but decided that the Union Pacific train roaring past the park
was much more interesting.

Tyler doing this best to stay
still and calm. Not easy for an active 3-year-old.. |

That's
about as close as Tyler would get. |
Mom,
