What a beautiful day this was! The weather was great--in the high 70's, and as you can see, lot's of sunshine! I was pretty tired after walking around the acres and acres of flowers. Not exactly the best thing to do when you are 8 months pregnant, but I've wanted to visit this place for years now. So I made plans with my mother and we enjoyed ourselves! I will go again next year and spend more time walking around the fields. As it was, my son was too excited about the Children's Acre (aka playground) to let me do too much walking around with the flowers.
Padraic had fun playing on the huge 'roller' slide. It was an at least 10 foot tall slide made out of PVC pipes that the kid's just 'bumped' their way down on. I would have tried it, but I don't think that it is quite the thing to do when pregnant! Too much bouncing and jostling. But Padraic loved it once he got over his fear of climbing up the ladder by himself.
They also had 'rubber ducky races.' The kids would pump water from those old fashioned water faucets into plastic rain gutters to move their ducky until it reached the 'waterfall' into the water trough at the end. Padraic thought that great fun too!
All in all, a great day. Even if I ended up with a slight sunburn and aching feet and shins!
