Yesterday we went with Drew on a field trip to the Memphis Botanic Garden. I was so very excited because the only time I have ever been there was for a party at night, so of course you cannot enjoy the bueaty of the place at night. It was absolutely gorgeous! I had so much fun and I really think that if we went back in a couple of weeks there would be even more flowers blooming all over the place.
I am going to share pictures of it now and then write some more...
Just after getting off the bus.
Our little group of boys rushing towards the fountain. They all said they wished they had brought their swim trunks!
This pic is for nana and poppy! These were the most massive coy I have ever seen!
Feeding the fish
They were pretty violent with the eating! They were just diving on top of each other to get the food.
There were still fishing coming from across the pond!
Jim and the boys looking at the big lake. They had actually gone down to see a turtle. They were all wishing they had a fishing pole!
Drew and his buddy, Elijah. They were learning about nest.
Planting grass seeds.
Stop at the bridge on our nature walk.
Drew's class on the bridge.
The class sitting in a made up, but actual size, eagle's nest.
Pretending to be an eagle.
Learning about eggs.
Drew tasting caviar! He actually said he liked it!
Well it was really a wonderful, beautiful day! We had so much fun. We were tired at the end of it but it was a good day. Now it is the end of the work day for me on Friday!! Yippee! Jim and I have the annual Band Banquet tonight, which is fun because we get to dress up and just enjoy a nice meal together without kids! And no clean up afterward!! More to come, we have another busy weekend ahead and will be spending time at nana and poppy's house tomorrow. I am sure there will be fishing and other outdoor activities ahead.
