Botanical Gardens

Yesterday for Memorial Day we spent the afternoon at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens-a very fun place to visit. It reminded me so much of many places we visited while being in Germany, especially Schwetzingen Gardens.

We had great weather and Hannah had a blast seeing the water fountains, plants, and exhibits.

We kissed the frog.

I told her it was the frog from her "Frog and Toad" book.

Does anyone know what kind of flowers these are? They weren't labeled and I want to plant them behind my hydrangea bushes in my front yard.

Hannah briefly got to use her new umbrella.

She had a blast playing in the water fountain at the beginning of our time and at the end.

My little flower.

This is why we came: to see Mr. McGregor's Garden and the fence Peter Rabbit climbed under to get back home. We have been reading Peter Rabbit before bed (the full version) and she loves this book. All she talked about all morning was the fact that she was going to go and see his garden.

And the pail that Peter jumped in to escape Mr. McGregor in which he got all damp.

Here is Peter's home where all of the bunnies live...

His coat and shoes! His jacket even had only one button on it.

I was so thankful the garden was real so that it made it life like to her.

We had a great day together and I can't wait to go back.
