We need to go back


Me and the boys had a busy day today. We covered a lot of ground. We headed up to the shuttle at our apartment office at about 10 am and headed to the LA County Arboretum. It was beautiful! The smells, the sounds, the sights were all as if we had hopped in a plane to 4 different countries in 3 hours. Every 3rd Tuesday is free day, and it didn't even feel like a free day because it wasn't overly crowded, well with 127 acres of botanical gardens and historical sites it shouldn't ever feel crowded. I can't express and my pictures can't show how beautiful The Arboretum is. I didn't bring a stroller, most people with kids there had strollers, but not really a necessity in my opinion, well my boys have proven to have quite a bit of endurance. Tino slept on the shuttle so he was rested, and they walked everywhere. My feet hurt when we arrived back at the shuttle. But we were not finished seeing everything we wanted to see. I never heard a complaint out of the boys either. Nix was throwing rocks into the lake and every time the koi fish popped up and tried to eat the rocks. The boys loved watching the big fish emerge from the lake with each rock thrown in. They also loved the prehistoric forest, and the big stick house, and the spiky plants. Nix was actually interested in the names of some of the plants. So fun!
Then I made bread and cookies when we got home. My house is a wreck!
