Going to the Gardens...


MiMi invited us to the gardens today! We were so excited to see the butterflies! Although Mallory was scared of them once we got there and they were fluttering all around us!

The kids enjoyed the other part of the Conservatory with the little "Butterfly Cottage" with all of its butterfly things inside...

It was such a beautiful day...great temp, a gorgeous sky, and pretty flowers everywhere!

Lots of kid friendly things to see and do....
Bongo-rific mon! :)

The kids enjoyed playing in the little houses from around the world...

Then we stopped for a potty break and a picnic of Cheetos...ahhh the "Lunch of Champions"...time got away from us bc we were having so much fun! (We grabbed a real lunch on the way home later...) Next time we will pack a lunch bc there is so much fun to be had while there!

Our view from way up in the tree house...so pretty! :)

Taking a little rest halfway down from the tree house...Mallory kept saying, "Welcome to you!" and clasping her hands together and looking at us and nodding every place we stopped today...we think she was trying to be a hostess or something... :)

After watching other kids play in the water area (M is still weary of fountains...and C was in his stroller) we played on this huge tree...it was awesome! Carter enjoyed getting out of the stroller today and crawling around some...I need to get him out more and let him do things! Thanks for such a special day MiMi! :)
