Botanical Gardens with Mimae




Friday we went to the Botanical Gardens with Mimae (my mom) and my brother's sons - Jay (6 years) and Coley (15 months). We had a lot of fun even though it was really hot. We got there early, and thankfully so! Bubba was an angel and did not utter a peep...as usual! He is a wonderful baby!! We ate lunch and then went back to Mimae's to play more. The only one that got a long nap was Coley, so my 2 are sleeping at this minute (hopefully for a while!!)
Here are my tips for going to the gardens:
1. Get there when the doors open (9am)...it starts getting busy by 10:30 and that is around the time the field trips get there too. If you get there at 9, you can have the place sort of to yourself and be ready to go home when everyone else gets there.
2. Take a change of clothes and crocs. It is much easier than dealing with swim suits. Let them wear their clothes in all of the water areas (there are lots now) and change them before you leave.
3. Use the bathrooms in the butterfly house...they are single occupant, but big enough to bring a couple of kids in if necessary.

We had a great time with Mimae and the boys! We love them so much! Thanks Mimae, but I agree, next time Papa is coming too!
