Botanical Gardens!

The weather here has been horrible for July. Chris had the day off and Lisa had been in the house with the kids a lot this week, so we decided we didn't care if it was gloomy, we headed up to the San Diego Botanical Gardens. They have an amazing children's garden complete with plants, arts and crafts and a crazy awesome tree house!
Charlotte was pretty crabby for the beginning of the morning, but perked up a little bit after having something to eat. She was still pretty grouchy though!
Lisa was super mom and carried Markus in the wrap while playing with Joli!
Charlotte loved the chalkboard, except she only draws for a few minutes, then wants to collect up all the chalk and wander off.We spent a lot of time just playing and exploring around the gardens!





Their was a "mountain stream" that the kids could play in. Charlotte loved stomping her feet in the water!
They had boats that the kids could start at the top and watch float down the stream!
Then Charlotte went to get her sweatshirt and wanted to wash it in the stream too. I swear, this kid loves doing laundry... better teach her how to do it soon!!!
