The crew of us who went to the Botanical Garden included Erin’s whole family, Peg’s whole family, Aunt Jane, me and Logan. Logan took Aunt Jane with her to quit a few activities, leaving me to move more slowly and actually see the plants and statues. The kids found water features to splash in, not all of which were actually intended to be kid friendly, and many statues and crevices to explore.

The Botanical Garden also had an indoor kids area with a big tree sort of thing to climb in, and a section where kids could dress up and see themselves on a tv screen acting out a skit. We stopped there on the way to the big children’s area and played for half an hour or an hour.

The big children’s area was huge. There was a rope to walk down with nets on either side, or a board walk, similarly netted which I could manage next to it. A large boardwalk climbing area, logs stacked log cabin fashion, and most importantly once we got there, a water fountain area to play in with swim suits.

Jane left us a that point, and after sufficient soaking of children we rounded them up to go and eat lunch and head our separate directions to rest. I took a lot of pictures, which I’ll post some of once I’m home. The statues at the garden were amazing. I have pictures of all of the kids and some of the kids in groups, but they are tiny on my camera at the moment, so I’m just believing that they are good.

Yesterday Logan and I spent the day with Erin and family, visiting Jean and David and then going in to the city in the afternoon, but that will have to wait for later to write about.
