A few pictures from our nature walk at Glenwood Gardens...

Sidenote: This outfit is a size 4T! Can you believe that? I had bought it for next summer and she saw it and wanted to wear it. The kind of sad thing is that it really does fit. My little girl isn't so little anymore.

We learned an important lesson on Monday - check the website before leaving home. Nate and I have been wanting to take the kids to Glenwood Gardens. One of our neighbors raves about it and it is a relatively cheap (and close-to-home) activity. We headed out Monday and were pretty much the only people there. And when we tried to get into the gate and the door was locked, we were a bit confused. Until we read the sign: Closed Mondays. Fortunately, the entire visit wasn't a wash, as they do have some beautiful trails that were open, so the four of us headed on a nature walk. (In case you are wondering, Nate took the week off to help with childcare while I had a couple of workdays for school since our sitter doesn't do the workdays). Morgan was a trooper at the gardens, and a trooper again today when we went to the zoo. Poor little guy gets carted around quite a bit...

As a sidenote, we did end up heading back to Glenwood Gardens on Tuesday when they were open and Tessa had a great time. It is a very cute little place for kids. She especially loved the area where you can fill up a bucket and water the plants...we'll be back soon!
