As often as I can, I take the girls to our local botanical gardens, where we are members. Going and walking there is one of our favorite things to do! It gets us close to nature: we're always seeing honeybees working, or hummngbirds, or butterflies, as well as fish and of course, a plethora of plants, but it is also a place where I can let the girls out of the stroller to run, run, run! Recently, we've been taking snacks along for a quick picnic down by the coy pond. The girls pick up pine cones, sticks, and nuts, and we "oooh" and "aahhh" over brilliant spiderwebs delicately spun between trees. It truly is a magical place for little ones, and the addition of a new children's adventure garden has provided us with even more to explore. This evening was a great time for us to go! After a quick dinner, we headed over to burn off that second wind of energy. Here are a few pictures from tonight's adventures:
