I have been wanting to go to these botanical gardens forever. This day was began with one of those disappointments I mentioned in the prior post. We had planned to go to the aquarium, even had a ticket in hand. The kids were beyond psyched to go. We were happy we actually planned a trip in advance. And then that morning I thought about the fact that it was Spring Break. Hmmm...that meant a lot of people would be doing the touristy thing. Called ahead and the entire morning was already book. You can imagine the tears and agony that followed this announcement. We had to think quickly and Michael remembered this place. Huge sigh of relief, Skyler was ok with it, Sadie still couldn't let the aquarium disappointment go, but decided she would go with us if we promised another day at the aquarium. LOVE this place. It's beautiful, fun, educational, and FREE!
We were waiting for Michael to pay the meter. So I thought I'd snap some pics of them...I absolutely LOVE this short series of pics with them. Totally sums up the fun kids they are...
Don't you just fall in love with him?? Is he not the cutest kid EVER?!!!
She's pretty cute herself:)
sigh...love her
This section was made just for kids to PLAY. perfect. They loved it and could have spent all morning doing the basic but super fun activities.
Yep, my little girl is a trip!
Michael took the kids to the upper level, I stayed on the lower one because heights are not my favorite thing. They were waiting for the elevator and Michael was getting some pics of them. I love this picture of it all happening.
Another series that is my favorite. I was begging them to pose for me at the end of our little trip. They were not going for it.
This was right after I told them that we would leave if they smiled. There is the enthusiasm I was kind of looking for....
I finally got them to smile by bribing them with coins to throw into the wishing stream.
Can you tell she had enough?!
