Our Big Adventure

Isabelle was watching Sid the Science Kid (her favorite show) the other morning and asked me , "Mommy, how come you never let me go on any adventures?". I felt so bad that we never go on any adventures that I promised we would go on an adventure the next day.

The next morning when Isabelle woke up there was a map waiting for her with all of the things that we were going to do on our adventure. The map had a picture of her eating breakfast, getting dressed, driving in Daddy's truck, going to the tire store, eating lunch, etc. I took a few picture of her with her map as we began her big adventure, and another picture of her at the tire store. The necklace was something Pops (my dad) bought her months ago, for some reason she saw it the morning we were leaving and said, "I never told Pops thank you for this beautiful necklace". So she had to wear it so if we saw Pops she could remember to tell him thank you, what a thoughtful little soul she is =)

For those of you who do not know Isabelle has an obsession with tires! I have no idea how the obsession began, or why she loves them so much but she has a true passion for tires. For the past couple of months Isabelle asks Dave and I if we can go to the tire store on the way home. We have never taken her to one (never had a reason to), and so we would always tell her that if we saw one open on the way home we would stop. (Of course, we made sure to never see one because what on Earth would we do at the TIRE STORE!) So for Christmas she asked Santa to bring her tires, but we explained to her that he wouldn't they would not make a good gift. One day we were going to Costco and Dave mentioned to Isabelle that they sold tires there. She just lit up and was so excited to check out the tires at Costco, she even insited on bringing her pretend camera to take pictures with the tires. When we got to the tire section at Costco she was so happy, it was like we were at a candy store or something. She was snapping pictures, smiling and rubbing all of the tires. At the same time saying, "Eww Daddy this is a nice one". She even comments on the condition of people's tires, she told me the other day that Mr. Chris (Dave's cousin) needed new tires, and that Grandma has small tires.

The girl is a freak, needless to say she was so excited about going on an adventure to the tire store. Just look at the excitement in her face as I took her picture in front of the tires. (By the way we actually bought tires this day, I didn't just take her for fun. I felt dumb enough with her taking pretend pictures at Costco)
