{Grapevine Botanical Gardens}

 Today Celeste took us on a little trip to the Grapevine Botanical Gardens.  It wasn't a very big place in fact it was just right.  They had a playground with this fun spider web (as the kids called it.)  Ezra climbed all the way to the top but didn't like coming down.
 Paisley and Elliot liked the swings.
 They had a cute little fountain.  Paisley has been watching too much Toddlers and Tiara's.
 My cute Kaidee.
 Cute little Elliot who just turned 2 yesterday.
 There was a beautiful pond with the most beautiful koi fish.
 In the middle of the park there was this huge oak tree.  It was fenced off and had a little plaque that said that this tree was here when the declaration of Independence was signed.  This picture only shows part of the tree.
 The kids all enjoyed watching the fish.
 Elliot must of seen something funny.
 It was hard for the kids to keep their hands out of the water.  The fish would swim right up to you when you got close.  They must get fed a lot by people.
 This little botanical garden is one if the many stops that the monarch butterfly takes as it migrates from Canada to Mexico.  It was cool when we spotted one flying around and then it landed just long enough for me to get a picture.
We all had a little picnic on the grass area the kids really liked this part.

Texas really does have so many cool things to do.  I am so happy that I was able to come.
