A full day

Yesterday was one of those crazy days where we had something scheduled for both the morning and afternoon with not much time in between. We finished up our morning activity at 12:00 noon and rushed home to let the dog out and have a very quick bite to eat. After quickly getting back into the van, we arrived at the RBG right on time for the last program of the year . . . or so I thought. I soon found out I had the wrong day! Oh man, after all that rushing around! The kids thought it was funny and so we decided to make the best of it and just go on our own hike. So we picked up some seeds on our way out the door and off we went. We ended up hanging around for a few hours and had such a great time.

Here are the happy hikers.





We saw some wildlife . . .

. . . and even fed some of them.

At the end of the hike, just before we were leaving, the kids even got a little education about Lilacs. The perfect end to the perfect day!

You can bet we were all exhausted by the time bedtime rolled around and if it weren’t for the doozy of a storm we had, we might have even all slept through the night!
