Last week my mom and her sister Linda had lunch at the Trellis Cafe and me and my sister joined ( AND my dad) I should have gone back and got D and T but the lunch was great with a gorgeous view. So I decided I really wanted to try the Gardens splash pad for Tyler.
So Friday I made a special bag for him and got everything all set. I got him dressed and asked him if he wanted to go on a HUGE adventure ( from the little Einsteins.) He was SOOOOOO excited.
I had thought that maybe we would be able to see the rest of the gardens but I didn't get a chance to clean out the stroller so I planned just the splash pad. When we got there Ty was a little nervous but he quickly warmed up!
The ark is REALLY cute. He was able to play with a bunch of kids and he finally ventured out and would go around and around the ark. He had a great time.
What I LOVED? I loved that he could go in there on his own, play and not need me right by his side. I sat on the ground and watched for a while, took a few pictures and then sat on a rock and read a book in the shade.
After about 2.5 hours Ty decided he was done. By this time it was 1 and so we left to go eat. Ty played at the play place for a while and then we were really done. So we headed home.
Ty did so well. I can't wait to take him again and to try the other stuff. They have a farm, dinosaur museum and caves and gardens. Of course some of them require getting past the splash pad!
Next big adventure: dinosaur day!

I have huge anxiety trying anything new with Ethan either. Though lately he has done so good, I wonder if I am holding him back.
I love these pictures. They are beautiful.
Thanks for giving me courage.
Oh man! That place is amazing. I wish they had stuff like that when I was a kid.
When I was a kid, I would have had anxiety too.

I thought Tyler would enjoy it! The entire gardens are beautiful, although we haven't been there since you left on your mission. I suppose they only get more beautiful with time. It looks like a great adventure. (Looking ahead here, my word verification is WATER. How appropriate!)
Nancy you're such a fun and AMAZING mom!!!
