The "Mechanical" (sometimes "Miracle") Gardens...

Last Sunday we headed NORTH for some FREE family fun with FRIENDS :) We went to a botanical garden in our state that was actually FREE for residents...when you are talkin' to three stay at home Mama's...FREE is best. :) We were a little nervous about the weather but it ended up cool, mostly just grey and we actually had a FEW moments of sunshine!!! Not bad at all!


Checkin' out the rot...aka compost. As J.W. said..."next up on our tour... port-a-pot" hee hee hee
 
The crew while everyone was still fresh

T playing with the "big girls"


They had the cutest little building where the kids sat down and listened to "Miss Karen"

Happy to just BE. Love her!

The man that pretty much says "yes" to all my crazy ideas like... "let's take the girls on a 2 hour car ride"

Rope bridge

Lil's turn

A long FUN day for the C Clan!

Pretty baby...

Ready to go home!!!
 We had an AMAZING time with our friends and we would HIGHLY recommend going if you get the chance. It was GORGEOUS and WELL worth the ride.
