Happy Mother’s Day!!

for the past few years…2010, 2009, 2008…my wish on Mother’s Day is a visit to the Botanical Garden after church.

i was spoiled in the morning…breakfast in bed, endless homemade cards (my favorite!!) and flowers!

after church we headed to the gardens  

my favorite spot to take pictures of the kids!!!

the garden had an exhibit of treehouses that were made by local designers….treehouse#1….not really a house in a tree but we liked it anyways!

treehouse #2  my favorite!

once inside…this is the view when you look up!!

the kids running to the next treehouse #3

treehouse #4 the kids’ favorite

tree house #5 least favorite…there were bees ;)

the children’s garden is amazing….a wishing tree, water pump, pebble pool, a solar powered water fountain…so magical, so fun for the kids to explore.

Caroline’s wish “ I wish for two dogs. I wish for a garden like this.”

family shot!!!

there is an amazing herb garden….i think i have the only 4 year old who is obsessed with lemon balm;)

I could spend all day taking pictures of the flowers.

and taking pictures of the kids….i didn’t even need skittles to bribe them to smile!!!

we had a picnic lunch

played frisbee

explored!

  i think we could of stayed all day…..Cooper, “can we see all the tree houses again???”

love that they enjoyed it as much as i did!
