Yesterday we had a fun day at the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. We went with Brittney, her sister Heather and all the kids. We are taking advantage of the $2 per person price tag on Tuesdays for the month of August. It was a relatively cool day all things considered. Yet again, I forgot to post in chronological order, so the pictures are in reverse.
Can you spy the little frog, who sits on a pad and not on a log?
The fish in the pond were more than happy to accept the food that was tossed to them. They would swim over each other, jump out of the water, and beg for food.
The lily pads were really nice. I don't know why this picture loaded sideways. I guess it looks better that way...
Feeding frenzy. Joseph and Bryan fed the fish. There were so many of them.
Samuel, Ariana, and Cambria. All 3 babies after their feeding. We stopped in a shady spot because all of us had to feed the babies. My baby looks so giant next to the petite little girls that we were with. Of course, Ariana looks almost as tall as Samuel even though she is 3 months younger than him.
Matty, Joseph, and Bryan. I couldn't get the boys to smile for the camera.
Joseph exploring the "wild" terrain. He enjoyed running around with his friends.
Joseph in the bear cave. The children's garden has a Noah's ark theme, so you follow the animal prints to where they make their new homes after they exit the ark.
Noah's ark is a little splash area, so I had to convince Joseph to play in the water. He liked to stay at the edge kicking and splashing water at people (we talked about it afterwards). He never got under the elephant squirting water from its trunk, nor the llamas spitting water from their mouths, or any of the water features that sprayed water at people. Brittney's little boys were in and under the water everywhere they could be. I guess it is nice that Joseph is so cautious?
It was really cold water and the day was cooler than last week. That didn't stop the boys or the hundreds of other kids that were all over the place.
We all loaded up into Brittney's van. A van full of carseats and kids! You can see Bryan and Joseph talking to Samuel.
We ate lunch at a park in American Fork. Samuel and Cambria played together for awhile. It was mostly Cambria looking on as Samuel grabbed at things and tried to put them into his mouth.
Samuel at the beginning of the day. He looked so handsome! You can't see it in this picture, but he has his daddy's hair.
