At pick up from Pre-School yesterday Stella was SOOOO excited to get home and go "owling" with her daddy.
Owling?
What?
I was totally confused until Stella's teacher explained to the parents at pick-up that they had read Owl Moon by Jane Yolen.
Of course Alton was totally game for the fun owling outting.
The two of them left right after dinner about 6:30p with a bright camping lantern in hand.
It was already pitched black, but the moon was very bright, perfect right for their adventure.
They headed to a little park near out house that used to be a convent and is beautiful grounds.
Here is what I learned when they returned...
As soon as they arrived at the park Stella said over and over again to Alton as they were walking the grounds:
"Daddy just let me know if you see anything... just let me know... ok, Daddy... just let me know"
But the best part of their "owling" was when Stella saw the gazebo in the middle of the park lit up she asked Alton to dance...
"Daddy just let me know if you see anything... just let me know... ok, Daddy... just let me know"

Alton put Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" on his iPhone and they danced in the moonlight!
Did your heart just melt?
I know mine did!
That is one of the moments that I wish I was in the bushes or someone could've videoed it for me to see.

They both came home on cloud 9.
When Alton recapped the story for me after I put Stella to bed all I could picture was Liesel from Sound of Music dancing around in the gazebo in that beautiful white dress with blue sash singing...
"I am 16 going on 17..."
But when I invision it, I see Stella floating around in this sweet number...
