A day of new adventures

It has been (still is) a beautiful day. We have been planning a trip to the zoo and today we finally made it. I have been wanting to do a horticulture/art class there at the botanical garden. I assumed the garden would be in full bloom and it did not disappoint. I love the garden this time of year. The girls love to practice their drawing and the plants there were just perfect for that. It was also the very first time any of us had been on the woodland trail. I had heard it was there, but we had just not walked it. It was also the first time the girls had been on a real nature trail. They really enjoyed seeing all the different trees and streams. Jesse, the explorer, took the lead most of the time. We had such a great time exploring and discovering parts of Columbia we had not seen before.
