Family Adventure

Last weekend we decided to spend the whole day as a family.  Since we had some free tickets
to ride the train from the Zoo to the Botanical Gardens, that's what we did.  After over five years
of living here we had never taken the kids on this train, we felt like it was about time  :)

After hanging out at the Zoo for awhile, we grabbed our picnic lunch and got on the

train to the Botanical Gardens.  The train ride took about 30 minutes, it was fun to

see stuff we've never seen before.  Once there we found a spot to have our lunch.

I made some yummy chicken salad sandwiches.  After we were finished eating we

walked over to look at the minature trains.  Just after walking over there we heard 

Griffin crying hard.  He came running toward us.  He had been stung by not one,

but two bees, poor kid.  This was his very first time being stung  :(

We had nothing to help with the pain since our car was at the zoo.  Patrick luckily

had some band-aids in his pocket, so that helped.....a little.

  

We enjoyed the Gardens and aquarium, then took the train back to the Zoo.  We looked at a few more animals, then headed to Corvettte Diner for some yummy milkshakes and one malt.  It was a great treat.

On the way home we decided to make one more stop.  There is a trail near a wash that we had heard about.  There is all kinds of art pieces cemented into the walls.  We found it, and the kids LOVED it.  We enjoyed the evening walk, looking for different objects in the wall.

It was a fantastic day as a family!!
