This Sunday afternoon was a perfect fall day: sunshine, mid-60’s, blue skies, little wind.  It’s always easy to get caught up in preparing for the new week with a chore list a mile long but, today, I felt more compelled to get outside and enjoy a little fun.  An impromptu call to my daughter, Krista, and within an hour the hubby and I were hiking with some of the grandkids at The Heard Natural Science Museum in McKinney.

A delightful couple of hours spent soaking up a beautiful day, checking out the animatronic dinosaurs, looking for wildlife and butterflies (they were gone), taking pictures, walking and, if I’m honest, a little bit of, “I’m sooooo tired I just can’t go on…”.  No matter, this spur-of-the-moment outing made for a very pleasant Sunday afternoon.
