Old Man of the Mountain Cactus

Big Brothers/Big Sisters organized an outing at the Desert Botanical Gardens;  it was a beautiful day for Sianna and I to participate.  I picked up Sianna at 10:40A and we headed over there.  There were about 40 other Big/Little pairs and a half dozen boy scouts ready to lead us through the Gardens.  The kids were given a hand-out with pictures of cacti and wild life that they were to "match" to things they saw while at the Gardens.  The picture on the side of this posting is one of the cacti that Sianna matched.  On the way out, Sianna stopped and made a pair of binoculars (paper, tp rolls) with some Target teen volunteers.

We were starving when we left and went to the Chinese Cultural Center for lunch.  Then we came back to my house.  Sianna read one of my favorite books:  Harold and the Purple Crayon.  Her reading is getting a lot better and she really loves to read.

Sianna played with I-Dog, read and got to ride on Ron's back before heading home.  I did get really good Wiggles tickets for 3/8 (12th row center), by-the-way.  We have lots to look forward to.
