We started out with a picnic lunch. Here are Aric and Leah bonding over Mello Yello.
The Japanese Garden
Monica was a great tour guide for Camden. She was even more excited about the koi pond then he was!
My step-dad Joe was showing off and jumping over the koi fish. Thank heavens he didn't fall and get us kicked out!
The Rose Garden
We took a couple of grandma pictures while we were there...the girls and my mom.
Here is one with Grandma Kathy, Aric's mom.
The English Garden
It was so hot! It felt good to sit by the spray.
The Splash Pad
This was the last stop on our park adventure. This is my cute little cousin Aby. She got to stay an extra day and hang out with us. She had no fear, she loved getting sprayed.
My girls got a little wet but they were more interested in the swings.
This is C, just standing there staring at the big kid waiting for the bucket to fall...
There were two water guns. The red one was lame, but the blue one could spray far and hard. There were two little boys who hogged it the whole time and they would spray anyone who would get close to them. They even sprayed my mom!
I was so annoyed because they kept spraying C. He wanted it so bad. I was waiting for some parents to intervene but no one stepped up. So after a while I took matters into my own hands.
I kindly asked them to let C have a turn. They weren't super excited at first but I strongly/nicely suggested that they give someone else a turn since they had been monopolizing it the whole time. They very reluctantly agreed that C should have a turn. As soon as I got my hands on that gun I let them have it!
I didn't realize that Aric was taking pictures! I love that he captured us giving those little turkey's a taste of their own medicine.

You go mama!!! I would have done the same thing. That last picture, the kid looks like he's running to tell his mom and about the mean lady that keeps spraying him. Haha!
That is hilarious!!! Don't mess with the Mama bear!! I love that you mowed them down with water.
Leah sounds hilarious with her desctiption of what each rose will do to you if you smell it. ☺
Love it! I would have done the same thing. I love the picture of you, your mom and my girls. What a fun time. I would have totally shown Joe how it's really done!
I couldn't believe how the boy's parent(s) let them be so disrespectful to me and worse mean to a poor little kid, there were others too, but they all gave up trying to get a turn. When you got behind the gun we all started to laugh. It was great! I know Camden had a blast blasting away. It was a fun outing. I couldn't help but think about abuelita Tina. She loved all flowers, but roses were her favorite. I'm glad Aric took the pictures.
