Garden Faire

While Matt was on a retreat with the other CLHS administrators, Kim took the boys to the Mercer Arboretum Garden Faire. We've gone the past three years or so, and it's always a great time ... plus, it's free!

We started out by doing some of the free crafts for kids ... like leaf prints,
getting a picture of yourself as a dragonfly,


and getting a hat made
(which you can then decorate ...
...and wear!)
We, of course, had to ride the bucket train four or five times. Ryan seemed to enjoy it quite a bit as well.

The boys really liked it when they could wave and laugh at each other when the train was turning in circles.

The boys' favorite activities seemed to be the train, seeing the Schnauzer dogs up for adoption, and playing on the playground. Ian's favorite playground activity was this fun tube. He used the footholes to climb up, peeked out from the middle, and then slid down the other side.
Ian also attempted this tricky rock wall,
while Ryan was a big fan of the rocking Clifford toy.
What a fun morning! :)

I'm impressed that you were able to take so many pics with Ryan either running around or in your arms! Way to go! My favorite is of Ian peeking through the green tube hole.
