I meant to take the boys to the gardens before Christmas, but by the time I realized we still hadn't fit it in it was the week of Christmas and I figured it would be crazy. I didn't really want to monitor a 20 month old around all those trees and breakable ornaments while trying to maneuver around a crowd. Since My cousin Missy found herself in the same situation we decided we should make a visit before the train was put away until next Christmas. We went last week and there was hardly anyone there which was so nice! The kids enjoyed looking at all the trees, at least for a short time before they begged to go see the train. The train exhibit gets bigger and better each year and is so worth going to see, especially with kids! Joshua was very good at noticing all the little details on the buildings (all the buildings in the exhibit are made out of natural materials). He was excited to discover a replica of the theater where we saw Peter Pan not so long ago! The other highlight for the kids was watching the birds in the conservatory. We had a wonderful, relaxed morning at the gardens!

Matthew was enthralled with watching the train . . . at least for a few minutes!
