Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

Sunday we took the boys to church, and for the first time left the big boys in the nursery.  Oliver immediately took off running to play with the toys without a worry about us leaving...and Owen cried for 30 seconds as we tried to put him down surrounded by strangers.  All we had to do was point out the cars and trucks and he was off playing as well.  Spencer stayed with us in the main area and was a good boy as usual.

Afterward, we took a detour on our drive home and discovered a really beautiful place - Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.  The boys really liked the gardens because there was lots of open space for them to run around and explore.  We saw turtles, frogs, and a snake in the visitor's center, and lots of bees outside around the flowers for the boys to point to and make buzzzz buzzzz sounds.
