Today was a great day! The kids and I went to Missouri Botanical Gardens today. That place is so beautiful. I just love it there. It's been so long since I've been there. I don't think Caleb had ever been there before today.
I'd forgotten how big it is, though. It was a lot of walking. And, it was pretty hot and humid today. But, we had so much fun. The kids really enjoyed it.
We got to everything except the box garden and the temperate house. I'd say that's pretty good. We also took the tram tour. That was fun. Caleb even sat quietly and listened this time. I was really proud of him.
They now have a children's garden. They did not have this the last time I was there (which was when Michaela was a baby) so I was excited to see it. It's really cool. The kids loved it. Next time, they wear their swim suits so they can get in the fountains, though.
I want to go back during Labor Day weekend. That weekend they open the little island in the Japanese Garden that has an original Japanese Tea House. Also, we did not get to tour Shaw's house because it is not open on Mondays.
We did not leave until after 3:00 p.m. because we were having so much fun. But, tonight I am really tired from walking around in the sun most of the day. I'm so glad we went. It really was another perfect day. This is turning out to be another GREAT summer.
