Tremendous Treehouses!



My friend, Brooke, and I took our girls to the Botanical Gardens last week for "Tremendous Treehouses." Oh my, what fun!

Have you been? You should! It was so much fun! Because where else, but the Botanical Gardens, can you see a giant tree growing out of a flower pot?!

The girls posed...



slid...



stood in a bird nest...



blew pinwheels...



looked through binoculars...



swept....



made wishes in the well...



played in the sandbox...



and hugged some more!




We also visited the Butterfly Garden, which my girls have been wanting to do ever since Mimi bought them Fancy Nancy "Bonjour Butterfly" for Valentine's Day!

They held butterflies...




petted turtles...



and tried in vain to touch something in the water (not sure what!).



Oh and did I mention - the flowers are gorgeous there right now!



We are so lucky to have a place like this in our city! But after two hours of walking in the hot sun, Lily Baker and Lucy decided they had had enough! So we went for lunch and then back to Brooke's for the best part of the day:

ICE CREAM!!

We went there a few weeks ago! JC loved it! Her favorite one was the "Wizard of Oz" tree house. She is in this weird obsessed stage with that movie. In fact I'm taking her to see the play that the Fantasy Children's playhouse is putting on next week. She is so excited! Glad you had a good time. I always love looking at your pictures :)

Love my 2 BoYs! said...
