botanical garden fun

saturday before school started we had a family fun day at the botanical garden. at the butterfly garden there were tons of caterpillars and butterflies.

there were ten mazes around the garden with different themes ~ hay bales, musical, enchanted, bee, butterfly, and summer to name a few.

after walking around for a while, the children enjoyed the water part of the garden.

checkers at the garden

we stopped in the enchanted forest for several games of checkers and lunch.  little man is becoming quite the opponent and john david is no longer guaranteed a win. lunch was served in the shade on the tic-tac-toe table.
