Zack and Landon at Botanic gardens

Zack and I went to the Botanic gardens with the Campbell's. After our usual greeting, (both boys running in slow motion, laughing, just like in a movie) we were off to explore the gardens. Zack already has a few favorite spots, like the bumpy road (hand-placed stone walkway-amazing and hard to imagine how long it someone spent on it), T-Rex waterfall, and the pond. koi.
Today we found a few soon to be favorites!

First off was a little kids dino area. They have a sand pit and few dino cut outs...

Zack tried out dino one...

While LT went for the Dino lover.

Next Zack took Landon to see the koi pond, and
LT showed Brian the view from the bridge.

Zack has always loved to push LT in stroller, or sometimes just the stroller. So he was off with LT in tow.
LT showed us a cool area towards the back of gardens, that has little "hikes".
It has a few paths that go over little hills cut into the landscaping that the boys can climb. Zack loved it! I am sure we will do this many more times!

The next stop was this beautiful little waterfall what pours into little pond.
On the way to pond, it goes under a few rocks which the boys found a crack in.
Zack could have sat and watched the water all day.

On the way out I managed to get a family picture of the Campbell's
with everyone looking the same direction!!
One of Zack's favorite things is to stop in one of the many gazebos for a snack. This time it was less about the snacking and more about the dancing, spinning and just plain silliness!
***apologies in advance for little bit of shake and the load beeping from the construction vehicles.


Of course the most exciting thing at the Botanic gardens is the construction!
We watch the diggers when we arrive and then again when we leave. Boys!
