Powell Gardens

 

We've had a really fun Labor Day weekend!  We didn't get pics of most of it - family dinner night with take out from Pei Wei (Max and I love the "chicky chick" there!) and a trip to DQ.  We got to see the Beyers and have brunch at the Bitter's.  We also went to the pool for the last time this season.  Today we went to Powell Gardens and we got lots of pictures there.  We had a blast, it was hot, but we had so much fun and it's very beautiful there!

 

 Daddy and Max by a pretty arch with purple flowers

 I'm grabbing Maxy's shirt and telling him to wait up

 We found this cute kitty and stopped to pet it

 Heading over the bridge to a pirate fort... they were having a "Forts & Fairyhouses" exhibit and had different forts and fairyhouses set up around the park.

Max, the captain

 I was in charge of the cannon

Here's another fort called the Ice Haus

I forget what this one was called but it was lime green and had holes all over it.

 I asked my Mommy to take a picture of me on this giant bunny... you can only see the bunny's ear in this pic

This fort was like a bee hive

 Stopping for a snack break

 And a silly break!  Mommy and Daddy liked this area the best, it was right by the water, very pretty and peaceful

 The geese were really loud... honking and honking... Max and I liked waching them.

 I pull my shirt up...

And Max does the same!  (Monkey see, monkey do.)

 Our neighbor's friend told us to bring swimsuits for the fountains and it's a good thing we did.  I had a blast playing in them and got all wet.  This was my favorite part!

 I even dragged Daddy in with me

 Max liked watching me!

 Max got brave and wanted to go in with Daddy!

What a fun family day!!  Powell Gardens is a great place!
