It is tradition that we do so at the Art Museum Gardens.
The day couldn't have been more beautiful!
We had Caesar Salad, Chicken Salad Croissants and Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake. With the salad came a tin of sardines. Wouldn't you know, my kids loved them! Way to go baby foodies!
Here we are:
It's always a trick to have candles outdoors -- one made it!
While the adults chatted, the children built fairy houses.
It was pretty elaborate this year:
After lunch we took a leisurely walk to admire the flowers.
The colors in this photo make me think of the recent film about Marie Antoinette:
The viburnum was just beginning to bloom -- the smell is intoxicating.
The planters met with my approval this year:
It's always fun to see the many varieties of daffodils:
And I do love forget-me-nots:
More nice planters:
And a nice group of people: :)
The redbud trees are just coming into bloom. Why do I feel like they are late?
And these blue flowers were so lovely -- I forget their name:
I had to smile at this flower -- I have a blouse with the same color and pattern!
How close can the camera get?
And the day ended with a bit of play in one of the ponds.
I have plenty more pictures but have decided to break them up over several days.We're enjoying another gorgeous day before the weather turns cold again. The boys have soccer and I'm doing laundry, mending, sorting, etc. Tomorrow is a pot-luck/pitch-in/carry-in at church, so I need to get some food organized. Enjoy your weekend!
