Children's Garden

Tuesday we had a nice day (albeit a little breezy) so we headed over to meet some friends at the Children's Garden. We even took Franklin with us so he could run around...and he did a great job staying near us. I was very impressed. I only put him on his leash when we were near the water because there were more people down there. After playing around for a bit we flew kites for a few minutes. However, Jackson was not a fan of the kites so we didn't do that for too long! We then headed down to the pond where there's a little stream off to the side. Christina had brought some rubber frogs and lizards and a net and the kids had a blast fishing the rubber animals out of the stream. And then Ellie fell into the mud. She was not too happy about it until she realized that she got to take off her clothes and then she thought it was great. Fortunately Christina had brought a change of clothes for Jackson so Ellie borrowed one of his shirts!

Ellie "fishing". That mud puddle that Franklin is sniffing is the one Ellie later fell in.

I thought for sure Emmie was going in trying to get the lizard out!
