day at the gardens

Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful day in St. Louis.. brunch at a favorite spot and then a trip to the Botanical Gardens.. which we assumed would be a quick trip, that turned into a four hour day in the sun.  The kids thought this place was super cool.


Mostly checking out the ducks hanging out in the reflecting pools...

 We headed straight for the maze.. and my little barnacle took off laughing hysterically to get lost in the maze!


Arial view...


Having more fun than it appears in the Japanese Garden...


Colin on the bridge...



This stepping stone over the creek was Colin's favorite.  We did this 9 times.


Very serious statue face...



Then we found these weird sheep and the kids would not get off of them.  Yelling "hi-ya!" and "Giddyup sheep!" (or, "Diggy-up," as Charlotte tends to say..)



Too cold for a true fountain run but they still managed to get a little wet.


Then we discovered the amazing children's garden, full of slides and climbing ropes and treehouses and fun....



"Relaxing" as Charlotte said...


Colin built a totem pole...



Xylophone in the woods?  Why not.




Though I'm pretty sure this fountain was blue for the Blues, Colin proclaimed it Cubby Blue :(


Great day with my babes.
