We couldn't have asked for better weather, nice and warm and a breeze....ahh...this is how summer should be. Of course, after this was all over I wished someone would have driven us home....it is just under an hour drive and I got sleepy! 
Harper had a good time exploring. And playing in the water. She is wet here from her first fountain encounter.
The apple was a big hit for everyone. 
Harper was sad to leave it. 
Here is Davis and another bug. There are a lot we didn't see, but the first one (Daddy Long Legs) and then this one (Ladybug) and two more were all we got to see today. The Praying Mantis and three big ants were the other two. By the time we did the back side and picked blueberries and currant and they climbed the silo they wanted lunch and to play in the water fountain....and all I wanted was a pitcher of sangria and to go lay by the lake.....a girl's gotta dream I guess. 
The bugs are all made from wood as you can see.
And we are back in the metal apple. 
It was so sweet how she stopped to smell everything. It also made the walk extra long and the boys extra irritated :-)
Everything she sees is just so new and fun. Love it. 
Ah, the mantis. 
The kids made butterflies for the butterfly exhibit in August as a craft out of leaves and twigs, etc. Carson's butterfly was a wee bit abstract and this sweet lady had uber patience to work with him. They really do need some other kind of glue...the stuff they had didn't work really well. 
This is cute, and I plan to use it one day for a science experiment! So...this is all I can tell you!
And, we ended with the fountain. Carson spend the better part of his fountain time having a fit about his goggles...so he didn't get in too much. Cranky! I thought for sure he would sleep on the way home, but nope...we are home and he is still cranky.
Let's hope cranky goes away before we fly tomorrow!
Where is this place located? It looks awesome! What a fun day!
