Botanic Gardens


Last Friday we took a break from packing and headed to the Botanic Gardens. We had wanted to renew our pass so it is still good when we come back in the Fall. It is so nice to be able to get a free pass from here, it is beautiful and we really enjoy spending time there. The first thing we did was head to the fish. It is finally warm enough at night here to be able to feed them. We had never fed them and the kids loved it. They both of course tried a piece but Easton tries everything! There were a ton of school groups there when we were which made it crazy.




By the time the bag was half gone Easton got a hang of how to throw it in.

The kids both love the big dog and the big dog house they both head straight to the bench inside or the dog and climb on them!

We had never taken Easton down this slide, he loved it!

This nice Grandpa was standing there while we were playing and offered to take our picture. He only took one which always makes me nervous what we are going to get but he did a great job!

The Magnolia trees were beginning to blossom and had a few open while there. I am hoping to go back before we leave to see if they are all opened. I have heard they are beautiful at the Gardens in May.

Easton discovered the worm holes and was hard to pry away from

They both always love the little playhouses. Ella talks about them the whole way there.


We always have to end our trip to the Gardens at the swings and try them all out!

I put two of this one up but I love Ella in the second one. They were both being so sweet with me and with each other and were just generally happy and pleasant! We had such a fun morning!

That place was so much fun! They don't have a ton of things to do like that for kids here so it is sad!
