Fun Day at Lewis Ginter

Since the weather today was absolutely perfect, we decided to take a trip to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens with our next door neighbors.  The kids had an absolute blast running around, playing in the fountains, and doing all the activities at the Children's Garden.  The little girls next door are so good with Madelyn and Ellie and treat them like they are their little sisters.  Lainey and Madelyn play great togther and Ana and Ellie have a special little bond because Ana likes to take care of Ellie. We had planned to go to Lewis Ginter only in the morning but ended up staying until close to 2.  Needless to say, I have two tired little girls on my hands but it was well worth it!

Quick picture before heading to water play area!

Madelyn loves playing in the water!

All they needed were solo cups and they were happy!

Can't believe that Madelyn will be 4 this Fall!

We ran into Ana and Lainey's cousin too!

Snack Time!

Ellie loves to be held by Ana and hold her hand!

This picture is blurry but it was Ellie's expression the entire time.  She wasn't too fond of the water but loved walking around the Children's Garden!

Madelyn loved the hula hoop!

Ellie with a very puzzled look as she tries to figure it out!

They had lots of bubbles floating around and Ellie just ran around saying "bubble" with her hands in the air!

They loved the little arts and crafts table!

Ellie loved coloring on the easel and I've already added one to their Christmas list!

Ellie loves to color!

Watching the turtle and fish!

One last picture before we headed home!
