There was an art festival at the Arboretum this weekend - and more importantly sunshine in the sky (finally!) - so we went and had a visit this morning.
I snapped some random pictures along the way...
These statues were part of the art show.
This local artist paints with bees wax, and gave us a demo.
Despite the bright sun, a weeks worth of rain still soaked up the ground.
Luckily, there were some fountains to wash the feet off at along the way.
Walking and observing in the gardens..
Iria gave an impromptu fractions lesson as she divvied out the bagels at the fish pond.
The kids then fed some bits to the fish, who nibbled on some fingers as well.
Lennon is always eager to take photographs, and he used my camera to take this one:
Lukas shot this rare picture of Iria and I together :)
We spent about 90 minutes there until we started to get tired and head back to the car.
One last photo form Lennon, taken of a caterpillar that Lukas found and rescued from the sidewalk.
And yes, I cut his fingernails when we got home..
Thanks again to the Martels for the cool Christmas gift of a family membership to the Arboretum :)
