BooTanical Outing

Today we visited the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens for the Halloween Party - The BOOtanical. It was a gorgeous day, and spending it in the gardens was absolutely perfect.

The boys all wore halloween shirts and I got a little festive as well!
(Good thing they are too young to be embarrassed by mom yet)


Our first activity was making a scarecrow.
The boys and I colored a face on a piece of burlap.


Patrick and Finnegan helped Gill stuff the head and the clothes with straw.



They attached the scarecrow to the wood -


and were thrilled with the results!


Next, Patrick and Finn ventured to the fountains with Gill...


and decided to take the risk and run through the fountain...


Again and Again!


Our last stop was planting spider plants, they each got to take one home.


Finn, Jack, Ryan and Patrick



It was a BOOtiful day!
