A visit to the botanical gardens, bugarium and aquarium

A few Saturdays ago we promised the kids that if they'd be good so mom and dad could get work done in the morning, that we'd all go have fun in the afternoon.  So Rob chopped wood while I mowed the lawn, then I helped him haul that wood into the garage.  Oh yea, and we played an early morning game of tennis too.  And the kids cleaned the toy room, so we got away for some fun after lunch.  The kids even got to climb over the little gate with a sign to "keep out" and walk under the waterfall.  It used to be available for everyone to explore but because of silly lawsuits and such they fenced around it now.  But the fence doesn't stop this bunch!

 The new bugarium was pretty awesome.

 Taking a break.  I love these adorable kiddos!

Lincoln was absolutely fascinated with the sting rays at the aquarium.  This was his first trip where he really noticed everything and he thought it was all so cool!
