Last Friday was National Garden Day and we were able to go to our local Botanical Gardens for free.† We made a day of it.
First of all, Keilee has a much better eye than I do.† She makes pictures on her iPhone camera that are better than my digital.
It was a beautiful day and the fact that it was filled with public school kids didn’t faze us a bit.† Keilee said a few ‘poor public schooler’ comments under her breath though 🙂

The butterfly house was stunning.† Butterflies everywhere, blooming flowers, turtles, waterfalls.† I could have stayed in there forever.
My pictures:
So funny every picture of me and Keilee together is taken at arms length.† See my arm in the sunglasses. 😉
The pictures of me, Keilee took with my camera.† I should have let her use her own!
It was such a glorious day.† We were very lucky we could meander at our own pace; no following someone’s notion of how we should explore, no walking in lines, or being told “no’ over and over.
So blessed to homeschool.

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
