A new Gem

A few weeks ago, Joel and I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and take the girls out to the arboretum. One of my good friends told me about it a while ago and how awesome it is, and how much her little girl (and her) love it. One of the best parts about it is that it is free (which is right up our alley).
It is all fenced in and feels like it is not right in the city (which it is). The best part is each time we've been (we've been back since we love it so much), Ruthie can just run around and loves it. There are cute little houses, chairs and mushrooms which she loves. We love that there are all sorts of plants that grow well in NC. It gives us good ideas for our yard (one day...).
There are also lots of bridges and little ponds are also a lot of fun. Lainie gets a really good nap when we go there too :-). This is the only picture I have to Joel, who looks thrilled :-).
There are great spots for a snack

Thanks so much Trinie for telling us about the arboretum!

I can't wait to visit in a few weeks, looks like a lot of fun (and a great way to wear Easton out for a nice, long nap) :-)

Oh my girls would love that place! I'm sure Ruthie had a blast!:)

Glad you discovered such a fun place for Ruthie! Looks like she is having a ball. Who doesn't love wide open spaces that are fenced in so Mommy and Daddy can relax!
