Trip to the Arboretum



We took a family trip to the Dallas Arboretum during spring break. My sister came along and we also met up with some friends as well. The weather was perfect, about 80 degrees, and the flowers were gorgeous. Tuesdays are "Toddler Day" featuring a petting zoo, face painting, crafts and music. They also built storybook houses for the kids to play in which were all based off of different kid's stories.




Brooks had a great time running around and smelling all the flowers. We played in the frog fountain, pet all the animals at the petting zoo and somehow even found a place for 5 adults and 7 kids to sit and eat lunch at the cafe!



We tried to get a good family picture but that was a little tough with Brooks having already been an hour past his nap time :-) He was a little restless to say the least. We did get a couple of really cute ones of Brooks holding Colt - which he loved. It was really sweet watching him hold him and kiss the top of his head.



The girls decided that although we had fun with the kiddos, that next time we go would be moms, a picnic blanket, lunch and wine!
