We went to Tyler Arboretum again this past weekend. We have such a good time every time we visit and Sam loves running all around. Besides, I have been wanting to get some good photos of Sam and Mark together. It is such a perfect place to do so, with all of the beautiful backgrounds. The tree house exhibit is still up and the magical habitats as well.
This is, by far, one of my favorite tree houses. We visit it all the time. For the first time though I noticed a sign that said the inspiration behind it was a fallen tree, with the main part being the trunk and the platforms at the end representing the branches. It is so lovely.
I took this picture quickly as they were leaving the tree house. I like how you can just sort of see silhouettes and not much detail.
On and over the troll bridge!
Sam was looking very intently for the troll who lives under the bridge, but she didn’t see him. I told her that he must have gone out. But she was looking!
Next stop was the pond, always a favorite place. Sam gets to look for turtles and frogs and other assorted animals. She did get to see one big, fat frog who was sitting right next to the platform.
One last jaunt around the grass to let Sam blow off some steam.
Last stop of the day was the fragrence garden. Of course, Sam loves it there since she gets to smell and pick everything she sees.
Here Mark was actually showing Sam some bees. There are bees in one of her pop up books and she likes to point at them all so Mark was showing her what real bees look like.
After we got home and ate dinner, we let Sam run around outside. She was wearing her hat, but wouldn’t leave it on. We both kept scolding her for throwing it on the ground, but she just kept laughing. Here, I am really trying to be stern with Sam and am telling her Mommy is very mad right now. You can see how impressed she is with my speech…
I can’t stay mad at my little girl!
