Another trip to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens... Abigail didn't remember her last visits in 2009, or 2010. This time she brought her own camera and took lots of pics.  The first three here are from her camera, the rest Jamie took.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cherry blossoms 2012

Flashback to March 24 when we visited the cherry blossoms...they were just past peak.  For any climate change skeptics out there who might stumble across our blog.... let the record show that cherry blossom peak bloom time is accelerating in a hard core way!  Here we are in 2009 (and within that post a flashback to 2008) when peak bloom was a full 2.5 or 3 weeks later.  And last year ... 2011 blossoms peaking probably around April 9 or 10. 
This year, Nate was more interested in "car-cars" than he was in blossoms.

Nate makes sure we all see the car that has just driven past.

Yep. There it goes...

So many blossoms, so little time.

Hi Nate.

Hi blossoms.

Watch out for the sillies.

more garden shots

Belated pics from last weekend's garden visit . . . the azaleas were still in bloom!

We saw some baby geese....

Geese really are kind of funny looking.

Abby found a house in the woods with little mushroom chairs.

And Papa helped Abby play with the water in a fountain (or "mountain" as Abigail calls it).

What a fun butterfly chair!

Good thing A's hat isn't green or we might have lost her in this sea of leaves.
