Botanical Gardens

Since we've been having such a fun time swimming, I decided to take the girls over to Great! Grandma B's pool for a little swim. Unfortunately, something broke in the pool pump the night we were supposed to go over, so we had to change plans. The Botanical Gardens are a favorite place of Claire's (and mine, too--it's where J and I had our rehearsal dinner), so we headed over for a little field trip.


The exhibit at the garden right now is Playhouses, and there were lots of different types of forts and houses designed and decorated with certain themes for the kids to explore. We visited the water area, the senses, and the imagination zone. Claire liked the water area the best because there was a mini water wheel and watering cans available to water the plants. And Madeleine and Great! Grandma enjoyed themselves on the swing.

We strolled the gardens for a couple of hours, sniffing and examining the foliage, then decided that is was just too hot and headed back to Great! Grandma's for lunch.
