Botanical Gardens..FINALLY!

Well, we finally made it to the Botanical Gardens. Not the one we tried to go to over a week ago though! Our mom's group at church decided we were going to dress our kiddos up in pretty spring clothes and go to the Dallas Blooms botanical gardens. Kimberly Holmes had it all planned out for us. We had probably 10 mom's and I'll just say tons of kids in tow. We all met at Grapevine Mills at 8:45 and were going to pull out of the parking lot at 9:00. Surprisingly, we were only 3 minutes late! We started the caravan and made it to Dallas just in time for the rain to start! We all pulled over and decided that pictures and a picnic outside wasn't the best plan at this point. We decided on the Dallas World Aquarium. We all paid our $20 and joined 700 kids on a field trip!! I won't go into more details because so many of the mom's have already told the whole story on their blogs, but I'll just say that the $20 was not well spent! We were going to try again last Friday and it stormed Thursday night. So...today was going to be the big day. BUT, our event planner went into labor Saturday morning, 3 weeks early! Sunday a few of us decided we'd just make it a day at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens and eat lunch at Chik Fil A. So...here are the Spring pictures, finally! I kept telling Hayden all morning that he needed to be a good boy and say cheese and hold his brother so mom could get some good pictures. He was an angel for me and in most pictures he held Carson, but in the head lock. The ones of him by himself have beautiful backgrounds with all the gorgeous flowers, but he's making the silliest "Cheese" face. He did just what I told him to do:-) We've discussed a day at the zoo in the near future and I'm just hoping that outing works out for us. Luckily, this group of mom's are amazing. We all love each other to death and love each others kids too. If a two year old runs off, someone's going to grab them. If you need to stop and breastfeed, no worries because at least three other people need to do the same and about 5 others can always stop and change a diaper! We are so blessed to have such cute kids and even more blessed to have such an amazing church!
