After the Taylor Swift concert on Saturday night, Erin and I walked through the downtown Myriad Botanical Gardens before we went to our car. The gardens had been closed for a long time due to renovations, but just reopened. I was so impressed with it I had to take the family back ASAP!
Here the children are waiting for the wave fountain to splash water on them.
Get ready...
Get set...
Go!
I tried taking cute pictures of each child, but they are in that awkward photo stage.
I love Jack's goofy face.
While I was snapping away at the kids, Howard asked a passerby to take an impromptu family photo. Turned out the passerby was a photographer scoping out the place. Lucky us! Too bad not all the kids are looking, but at least Luke isn't hiding and everyone has their eyes open. I've really lowered my standards to what is acceptable photography with 4 children.
Luke rolling down the hill. If only he had made his legs straight, then he would have gone much faster.
Gorgeous view of the gardens!
This may seem random, but my Okinawa friends will appreciate it! The renovated bathrooms have this hand dryer which actually dries your hands. These are all over Japan.
It spells GROW. This was in the Children's Garden area.
It's amazing how a random piece of metal art can be so entertaining. I have so many pictures of the kids doing crazy things on this.
My stud muffin!
I had to keep yelling at the kids because they kept putting their hands in the photo or jumping in. We were loosing daylight fast and Howard was having difficulty with the camera settings.
The Crystal Bridge changed colors throughout the evening. There were also lighted rectangles embedded into the sidewalk as well as lighting under benches and along the walk paths to light your way. There were a lot more interesting things, but not enough time to blog about it all.
The temperature dropped fast tonight and the winds really picked up. I can't wait to go back!
