On May 5, the kids and I met up with my dad for an afternoon date at Olbrich gardens and an evening date of pot roast and Finding Nemo. Although it’s been an incredibly cold spring, the flowers are beginning to bloom. And at Olbrich (or, if Joe’s reading, the Botanic Gardens) the magnolias and cherry trees were a-bloomin’.
It feels so good to be seeing spring green after a long winter of browns and greys and whites.
The trees at Olbrich are oh-so pretty!
Here’s the kiddos racing across the open field.
We tried to pose a picture of Dad with the kids, but it was not to be. Here’s the closet we got:)
Oh my, this girl! Too much.
Cherry blossoms:)
Here’s a pretty branch. Lightens up my heart.
Well, here’s an almost- nice picture of Dad with Andrew and Sylvie…
These kids crack me up!
Sylvie started throwing a tantrum here that lasted until we left. But this was before the tantrum began.
Enjoying the reflecting pool.
Check out this Oriole! Spring!!!
I’m so proud of Andrew…he used my camera to take this picture (the strap was around my neck). I didn’t realize he was getting our reflection in this ball. What a cool image!
We always love spending time at Olbrich, so if you ever want to join us, just let me know!
