Garden Day!

Nana and Pa's first trip to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens was today.

We tried to do a slower, more relaxing pace of a walk around to the WOW Children's Garden but the heat set in and we made a bee-line directly to it.

The biggest magnolia tree we have ever seen!

The blooms were bigger than Lily's head.

And, that's saying something since the hat she has on is meant for a 5 year old!

The biggest excitement for the day was the girls playing in the water.

We love coming to the gardens especially when public schools are still in session so that's it's mostly occupied by toddlers and preschoolers. Lily was wonderful and Emma loved her first time in the fountains. The looks on her face were priceless and I'm sure if it were up to her we would have stayed all day.

We had a picnic lunch on Statuary Vista and then quickly headed to the car since it was clearly in the 90s!
