We had a fun outing last weekend checking out the Grapevine Botanical Gardens! With a perfect forecast, we were looking for something to do outdoors. So we picked up sandwiches to have a picnic and then enjoyed the park and gardens!
Eric was traveling, so my parents me up with us for this outing.
The kids loved the play ground, and could've played here all day!
After having to DRAG them away from the park, we went to explore the garden area.
Checking out a very old tree with Nana and Grandad.
Herbs galore....
Cole may or may not have plucked a few stems to death before we caught on. :/
Just a cute photo opp
They loved looking into the koi pond.... they were some really huge fish!
Shenanigans on the lawn. Grandad is always good for that!
Cole had to spin circles once he saw the big kids doing it!
1. I love Cole's excitement in this video over spinning
2. The big kids also can't get enough
3. By chance, I caught a little mishap on video here that we couldn't stop laughing about!
So Cole's foot fell straight into about a 5-inch wide whole.... that is why you see his whole leg disappear. Not only that, but his shoe fell off into said, deep, dark hole, and Grandad was forced to go in after it! EEEEEEK! Kinda freaky for a sec, and not good at all that he fell into that because it couldn't been so much worse, but soooo funny when we look back and see it happen again!
Love all these beautiful little people!
Ella doesn't pass up too many opportunities to do cart wheels in a wide open space!!
All tuckered out when we got home. We all were!
Fun day of exploring with the family! Only thing missing was Daddy!
Love that first photo of the three kids on the bridge and Carter's look at Cole. How sweet. Doug was so brave to go after the shoe. And your mom telling him not to reach in was classic Rogers' daughters response. Looks like Grandad Doug has won over Cole, too.
