Thanksgiving Point Gardens

We have loved having passes to Thanksgiving Point.  We use them all of the time.  One of our most favorite places to go there during the summer is the Thanksgiving Point Gardens.  They are so beautiful.  During September, we went 3 times.  September was beautiful this year..not too hot and not too cool yet.  We loved our long walks in the gardens.  The first time we went was with my friend Stephanie and her son Dutch (who is best friends with Kaden..just 6 months younger), and her daughter Maddy (who is about 9 months).  Stephanie let little Owen borrow this awesome little bike.  He loved riding it through the gardens.

The next week we went with my Mom, Grandma Anka, and Paul was able to come since he didn’t have to work.  The boys loved showing their Dad and Grandma around the gardens.

Paul let the boys buy some fish food to feed the fish.  The boys thought that was the neatest thing ever.

Then the last time we went was with my sister Donna and my little niece Anja (who was just 4 months old).  Little Owen is getting to the stage where he wants nothing to do with the stroller, and just wants to run around everywhere.  He has so much energy, and the gardens is such a great place for him to get some energy out.  He loved exploring everywhere.

Cute little Kaden was feeling tired this day, so he spend a lot of the time hanging out eating snacks in the stroller.

And then little Anja woke up so we had to make sure and get some pretty pictures of her with the beautiful flowers.  She has such a gorgeous little smile.
