(She was not happy to have her pic made - she didn't want anyone seeing her eye)

Turns out park vehicles are dangerous too. While walking through a parking lot towards our favorite restaurant last Wednesday Mia walked smack into the metal bumper of a parked truck (yes - the whole "everything is bigger in Texas" definitely applies to the trucks here! LOL). There is an urgent care in the same shopping center as the restaurant we were heading too so we ran in there and they took fantastic care of her! She hit right below her eye and it gashed pretty good but thankfully was 1 centimeter short of having to have stitches so they glued her up (they even had purple glue!) and sent us on our way. Mia was definitely a little trooper. Once she got cleaned up (I think all the blood freaked her out the most) and we joked around a bit she was fine. In fact she insisted we still get dinner. LOL It's healing up really nicely with hardly any bruising at all. There will probably be a little scar but we won't know anything else until the glue flakes off which can take over a week.
Mia is getting green stars more often then not now so we've switched from yogurt as a reward to earning points for each one. We ended up going for yogurt every school day of December which was a bit much! LOL We are super proud of how well she is doing in school.
We checked out another state park on Saturday (last weekend was Mother Neff State Park this weekend was Meridian State Park). It was gorgeous and definitely made the "we should camp here" list. We hiked one of the smaller trails and then sat by the lake for a while. All the pictures I have taken the last two weekends have been on film so hopefully I'll get that sent off to be developed soon so I can share the beauty.
