Tree climbing.



This amazing tree is across the street from Casa Manana (otherwise known as the Kimbell's parking lot). After seeing their performance of "The Alamo", for the duration of which Mia squirmed and complained, I let her climb it. Well, she didn't really climb it. I boosted her up and she squealed with delight for a few minutes, then started making plans for a treehouse. She thinks the glorified bunches of twigs in the backyard will turn into this if we wait a year or two. If only. As I type this, Mia is out there trying to ice skate on the frost-covered patio. The fact that it's in the twenties doesn't phase her a bit. A true nature's child...she was born to be wild.
