The boys slept late this morning (10 am), but when they finally woke, we got dressed quickly and left. We started our adventure with McDonald's, Bryson's all-time favorite place to eat. From there we went to Cox Arboretum, which is a local metro park known for it's beautiful gardens and natural scenery. We brought along some old bread to throw in the pond to the fish and turtles. Bryson loved that! He said, "Mommy, they're starving." We walked along the paths, stopping for photos at a few spots, and checked out the butterfly house. Avery just looked on from his stroller and participated in a few picture moments. After about an hour, the heat was getting pretty ridiculous, so we went looking for air-conditioning. We ended up at the mall, where we only spent $.25 cents on a gum ball, but we did browse several stores and spent quite awhile at the play area. By the time we got home it was nap time for Avery, and Bryson was ready for some quiet time himself.
I love it when the boys and I can just enjoy simple things and each other's company. Bryson and I had some fascinating conversations (for a 3-year-old), and Avery just enjoyed the stroller ride.
Here's a few pictures of our outing.
