Kendall and I have been very busy taking advantage of our Friday's in May together, and the nice weather. One Friday we had a fun adventure with the Quaid's and some other friends at
Wagner Farm. Although the other kids checked out the animals, Kendall had the most fun running through the industrial sprinklers. Oh, and dragging the other kids along to do it too. She is an instigator.
The next week, we set off for the Botanical Gardens with Grandma & Grandpa Greaney and Aunt Nell. This adventure was filled with lots of things Kendall loves, water, fountains, birds, flowers, and trains.
It was a very warm day, and a lot of walking for expectant mommy, but we had an excellent time exploring. Aunt Nell ran around with Kendall and took her exploring through the grounds while we all checked out every fountain and flower.
I had known the Garden's had trains, but I did not know the extent of the setup until we explored it. Lots of model trains, including Thomas and Friends (which Kendall was all excited about), as well as replicas of landmarks in the US. There were monuments and mountains (an exploding Mt Saint Helen's), as well as ball parks and homes (the White House and Frank Loyd Wrights). Everything made out of plants or bark. Trains above and trains below, with and without cars carrying all sorts of things. It was a pretty cool display, especially if you are 2 and love things that move.
We hope to go back soon and wander some more. I'm kind of slow these days so we did not get too far, but I think there is a lot more in store for us, especially as the seasons change.
