Walking the trails!

The boys and I took Tovi to the local botanical gardens. Dogs aren't allowed on the trails for the gardens but they have lots of walking trails for the four legged friend to go on.
And we were off.
The boys loved exploring the woods and all the bugs/creatures they could find.





It's a little blurry, but Eli saw several of these 6 legged spider looking things.
A toad. Eli saw a lizard, but he scurried under the bridge before the rest of us saw him.

The boys weren't really interested in the flowers but these were cool.
Lots of pretty scenery.




It was a surprise to find out my parents were spending their anniversary at the gardens. Happy 38th! So, we ran into them just before they left and they watched Tovi while we checked out the gardens.


And they even had some educational signs.


And cool lawn art!



We will definately be going back!

Looks like you had a 'buggy' good time. I like the gardens better than the bugs, but understand boys and their bugs!

Thanks for blogging, it helps me see what the 'boys' are doing this summer. I know how busy you must be with working extra shifts, a new puppy, and doing special activities with the boys to make their summer special. Some day when they are older they will realize how blessed they are to have you!
