Garden Birthday

We went on an outing today...


Saw a birds nest up close...


Were very excited to hang out with Aunt Teren on her birthday today...


Chloe even started taking some pictures with my iPhone...


Not all that bad for an almost 3 year old...


I loved this one of her little boots...


Then she was done - here mom, you do it...


We found a flower on the ground that the plant was done with...


Even got quite a bit of pollen on the nose...


Saw some beautiful orchids...


And bonsai woods...


Pitcher plants were very cool...


And so was this stem...


Beautiful hibiscus flowers...


Check out those ruffles...


And crazy looking plants with bad hair days...


And these wild chrysanthemums...


Then our ears heard a sampling of the newly refurbished Longwood Pipe Organ. As we walked by, Chloe looked up at me, grabbed my hand and said in all seriousness & concern "Mom. That sounds like trouble...". I guess she watches a bit too much of Little Einsteins - because those deep, loud pipe tones sounded like something right out of a haunted mansion of old...
She is so clever!
