Into The Garden We Go

All of us headed out to Powell Gardens this weekend. We had alot of fun. Lots of beautiful flowers. They were having an African statue exhibit. The display is called "Chapungu: Nature, Man & Myth". There were over 50 statues placed throughout the garden. McKenna and Brendan had a great deal of fun finding the statues. My favorite one was of the giraffes. I LOVE giraffes. If you ever go to Powell Gardens in Missouri, there is alot of ground to cover. They do offer a trolley, which Brendan loves to ride. By the time we reached the far end of the gardens, we all were ready to ride the trolley back. Powell Gardens is one of our favorite places. They have made it even better with the new Butterfly Garden and water fountain. The kids got to cool off with snow cones, and a run through the fountain. We can't wait to go back for the fourth for the fireworks.

Hi - I've just checked who has visited me today and came across your blog in the sitemeter list. I'm so pleased to see that you have me as one of your favourite blogs to visit. Thank you so much. I haven't been blogging to my best abilities over the last few weeks, but hopefully there'll be plenty more for you to catch up with soon.

I've made a note to visit yours again and read all about you - no time now, but it looks as if you had a fun day from your latest post. I'll try and remember to take a photo of the mother and child giraffe 'statue' my daughter brought back from their amazing trip to Africa last year. Then I'll have to remember to pop it on my blog! Will do my best!
