Lazy Sunday....

So today has been a pretty lazy Sunday. (Love it!) Earlier this afternoon, Allie and I meet my friend Taryn for a hike. I was so excited to get out and I think Allie was too. She couldn't stop smiling. :) We had a pretty strenuous hike. It was, after all, one o'clock in this HOT Texas weather. So as we are walking along enjoying the great weather...I hear this moan. I look over and Allie is laid out in the shade like "there is no way I am going any further." I felt so awful like I was the worst "mom" in the world to have pushed her to the point that she was so exhausted and was foaming at the mouth. Taryn and I quietly began coaxing her to push on. When she emerged from the bush...she had what seemed like 10,000 burs embedded in her hair. They were on her face, belly, EVERYWHERE. I felt so bad for her. So, I have spent the last 45 minutes cutting burs out of her hair. Now she is embarrassed and hiding. I will probably spend the next 45 minutes building up her self esteem. :)
