Arboretum

So yesterday we dropped Addie at my mil's house and the boys and I headed out to the arboretum for the afternoon. They had a blast. We have not been in awhile because our membership had expired( hint hint mom!!!) but Wednesday is discounted so I decided why not. Everytime we go Alex has a blast but this was the first time Zach has been since he was about 20 months old, and he LOVED it. I mean what kid doesn't like playing in water, pumping water, walking through water, and then going and climbing on big bridges made of rope!!


They would have stayed all day had we had the time to do that. Alex loved the toad pond. This is the first time that we have been when the tadpoles her turning into frogs and toads so he was all about finding frogs...which he did. Once he figured out to look in the weeds he was finding them all over the place.

Zach just liked walking through the water..he held a frog but couldn't care less about it.
The ropes course they both love. Zach is finally big enough to do it on his own...slowly but on his own!He went through the first one twice, taking his time and watching his every step. I thought maybe once he got up the ladder and saw how high up the bridge was he might have been scared, but then I remembered its Zach and that kid has no fear. Well all my kids have no fear!

After playing a little more in water and building a damn with all the rocks we moved to the big tree house with more rope bridges and the boys just ran through it at least 10 times. They had too much fun!!! And then we were off to the big maze before we left. It was a fun day for everyone, a long and hot day, but a fun day. I can not wait until Addie is old enough to go and really be able to enjoy it.
