After a jam-packed birthday weekend of fun, we were prepared for a lazy rainy Sunday afternoon to recover. However, the forecasters really blew that one and we found ourselves with a warm sunny day and two kids who desperately wanted out of the house. So we decided to go check out the gardens at SIUE, which I had heard great things about from my friends. They were not wrong!
We went for a long walk/bike ride through the woods and discovered this beautiful pagoda overlooking the lake. This would be my kids dashing back and forth to throw pinecones in the water. I don't know.
Pine straw! I had to breathe deep and pretend I was back in North Carolina.
Look closely and see Colin trying to give me a heart attack by leaning over the bridge.
What is everyone looking at?!
Turtles! Too many to count, though Charlotte certainly tried...
What a fun little impromptu afternoon.
